Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer E4 Error Code

E4 at a glance

The user guide entry reads heating element failed. This is a hardware fault, and the guide gives no cause for it.

The heat source in the drawer

A “heater plate” sits underneath the round metal filter plate at the bottom of the drawer, according to the guide. It cautions against touching the filter plate while the dishwasher runs or just afterward, because the heater plate below can make it hot.

Permitted steps

1. Use the control to stop the beeping, and write down the code.
2. Turn the dishwasher off, pause briefly, and turn it on again.
3. Unload only once the drawer has stopped completely.

A code that goes away after this has reset, says the guide. One that stays calls for disconnecting power (plug or breaker), closing the water supply, and contacting Customer Care with the code.

Things to avoid

• Do not put your hand into the base to inspect the element.
• Do not start program after program hoping it recovers.
• Do not take out the motor assembly or the filter plate to peek underneath, because the guide says the dishwasher has to be used with those parts fitted.

Codes to compare

• E3 is the temperature sensor fault.
• E6 concerns drying, not heating.
