What this code means
Summary for F31 (DishDrawer — service diagnostic codes). Independent repair notes only — not a substitute for the current Product Help article or tech sheet for your serial.
Symptoms you may notice
- This is a technician / service-mode diagnostic reading and is not normally seen during everyday use.
- If F31 is visible during ordinary operation, the DishDrawer may be stalling, failing to complete a cycle, or repeating a fault.
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Do not attempt to enter or interpret the service/diagnostic mode yourself.
- Note when and how F31 appeared (which cycle stage, what the drawer was doing) for the technician.
- Switch the appliance off at the wall if it is behaving unsafely, and avoid further cycles until it has been checked.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.
Important safety warning. Service/diagnostic codes are for trained technicians using official test procedures. Do not open panels, access wiring, or attempt to force the appliance into a diagnostic mode. If you notice smoke, sparks, or a burning smell, disconnect power at the wall if safe to do so and call a professional immediately.
When to call a technician
F31 is a service-level reading. Do not force diagnostic modes yourself — schedule Fisher & Paykel Appliance Repair with notes on when it appeared.
Frequently asked questions
