Error code EC
Appliance DishDrawer
Affected model series DishDrawer (legacy E-code generation) — confirm the rating-plate model before acting
Quick answer

What EC often looks like on Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer appliances, plus safe next steps.

Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so EC may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Official wording for EC on the DishDrawer — legacy E-code generation line may vary by model. Use the safe checks below and refer to your model manual for the exact meaning.

Signs

Symptoms you may notice

  • The DishDrawer control panel displays EC during or after a wash cycle.
  • The cycle may pause, stop early, or fail to start while EC is shown.
  • An indicator light or beep may accompany the EC display.
Before you call

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.
