Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Check that the drawer is fully closed and latched before restarting.
- Confirm the water supply tap is fully open and not kinked or restricted.
- Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the drain path / air gap is clear.
- Switch the DishDrawer off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate for reference.
Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring or the control board. Do not bypass the drawer safety interlock. If you notice water pooling near electrical parts, a burning smell, or sparks, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.
When to call a technician
If E6 returns after the safe checks, pause further DIY and book an independent diagnosis with Fisher & Paykel Appliance Repair — bring the model/serial and a photo of the display.
