Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer F4 Error Code

What F4 names

F4 names two parts together, the temperature sensor and the heating element. The DD24/DD60 guide reads “faulty temperature sensor or element”, and the support article narrows it to “heating element failure”. The remedy is identical in both and is not something an owner does.

Sensor and element share a code

Water is heated by the element, and the sensor reports to the controller how warm it is. When either one fails, the controller cannot reach the right wash or drying temperature, so a single code can stand for both. How the controller decides which part has failed is not covered in the documents.

Published guidance

• Older guide: phone a service centre or Customer Care.
• Support article: F4 is on the list of faults that “require a service technician”, along with F5 to F9 and FC.
• Neither text provides a reset, cleaning step or check.

One restart is acceptable

The general fault routine in the guide works for any code: quiet the beeper, switch off for a few seconds, switch on. Trying it once does no harm. If F4 comes back, stop there and arrange service instead of power-cycling again and again.

Safety

The element lives in a wet appliance powered from the mains, so the housing should stay shut. When you phone, report the code displayed on each drawer.
