Affected model series DishDrawer (service diagnostic mode) · match your exact model docs
Quick answer

F51 · DishDrawer — cautious homeowner guidance for this display reading (verify for your serial).

Model compatibility: Fisher & Paykel reuses codes across series and model years, so F51 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

Fisher & Paykel may reuse display labels across generations. For F51 on DishDrawer — service diagnostic codes, compare the on-screen text with your model’s error table.

Signs

Symptoms you may notice

  • This is a technician / service-mode diagnostic reading and is not normally seen during everyday use.
  • If F51 is visible during ordinary operation, the DishDrawer may be stalling, failing to complete a cycle, or repeating a fault.
Before you call

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 F51 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.
