How do I get my Fisher and Paykel DD602 to drain?
To get your Fisher & Paykel DD602 DishDrawer to drain, we focus on the most common causes: a kinked or incorrectly routed drain hose, a blocked drain filter area, or a drain pump blockage (often shown as a drain-pump fault). Start with cleaning the drain filter and checking the hose routing.
- Press Start/Pause before opening the drawer if a cycle is running.
- Remove standing water if needed, then clean the drain filter and filter plate (food debris here is the top cause of slow draining).
- Check the drain hose routing for kinks, pinches, or a crushed section behind the unit.
- If the hose is damaged or keeps re-kinking, replace it with the correct hose for DD602.
- If the unit shows a drain-pump blockage fault, check the motor area for foreign material (glass, labels, bones) and reassemble the filter plate and spray arm correctly.
For the exact filter-cleaning and reassembly steps for your model, follow the owner's manual.
If cleaning and hose routing do not solve it, these DD602 parts are common fixes:
- Dishwasher drain hose 527137 (kinked, split, or restricted hose)
- Dishwasher drain hose extension kit 525798 (when the drain run is too long and routing gets forced)
- Dishwasher o-ring, 4-pack 525940P (helps stop leaks after you open the pump or filter area)
| What you notice | Most likely cause | What we do first |
|---|---|---|
| Water stays in drawer after cycle | Filter plate or drain filter clogged | Clean filter plate and drain filter |
| Drains sometimes, then stops | Hose kink or poor routing | Straighten and re-route hose |
| Beeping with a drain-related fault | Drain pump area blocked | Clear debris near motor/pump area |
| Drains but leaks afterward | Seal or O-ring disturbed | Inspect and reseat seals/O-rings |
A DishDrawer that cannot drain will usually leave dirty water in the tub, cause odors, and can trigger fault beeping. Keeping the drain filter and filter plate clean also protects the motor assembly and helps prevent repeat blockages.

How do I reset the E6 code on my Fisher and Paykel dishwasher?
On a Fisher & Paykel DD602 DishDrawer, you clear a fault by stopping the unit with Power, then doing a brief power reset at the supply. If the fault is a flood condition, it will return until any water in the base and the cause of the leak or overflow are corrected.
- Press Power to stop the beeping and clear the fault display.
- Turn power off at the mains/supply for 10 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Close the drawer fully.
- Start a wash cycle to confirm normal operation.
This model’s manual lists faults such as F1 (flood switch activated) rather than an “E6” label. If you are seeing “E6” on the display, treat it as a fault condition and use the reset steps above, then troubleshoot the underlying cause.
| What you see | What it usually indicates | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Beeping with a fault shown | Active fault condition | Clear with Power, then do a 10-second power reset |
| Water in the base pan area | Flood protection triggered (often shown as F1) | Find and fix the leak or overflow source |
| Fault returns immediately | Condition still present | Inspect seals, drain path, and oversudsing |
- Oversudsing from the wrong detergent or too much detergent
- Leaks at seals or O-rings
- Drain restriction or kinked hose causing backup
- Drawer not sealing consistently
- Overfilling symptoms from water supply issues
- Fisher & paykel dishwasher o-ring, 4-pack 525940P (common sealing points)
- Fisher & paykel dishwasher heater plate seal 525058 (heater plate sealing area)
- Fisher & paykel dishwasher drain hose 527137 (drain routing, kinks, leaks)
- Fisher & paykel dishwasher drawer lid assembly 525876P (drawer sealing surface)
A flood-related fault is a protection feature; resetting restores operation, but correcting the moisture source prevents repeat shutdowns and helps protect the motor, wiring, and drawer components.
For DD602 fault-code behavior and the recommended reset procedure, use the DD602 owner's manual.

How to reset a Fisher Paykel DD602?
To reset your Fisher & Paykel DD602 DishDrawer, turn the power off at the mains supply (unplug it or switch off the circuit breaker), wait about 10 seconds, then restore power and start a wash cycle to confirm the fault is cleared. See the owner's manual for model-specific steps.
- Press Power to stop the beeping or end the cycle.
- Turn power off at the mains (unplug or breaker off).
- Wait 10 seconds.
- Turn power back on.
- Select a wash program and start it to confirm normal operation.
The DD602 will beep continuously when a fault is active. Many faults clear with Power, but if the code returns, the power-cycle reset above is the next step.
| Situation | What to do | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Beeping and fault code shows | Press Power once | Attempts to clear the active fault |
| Code will not clear | Power off at mains for 10 seconds, then on | Resets the control and rechecks sensors |
| Code returns after restart | Run a short wash program | Confirms the issue is still present |
A proper reset clears temporary control glitches and forces the dishwasher to recheck key systems (fill, drain, heating, and motor). If the unit immediately faults again, the reset helped confirm you are dealing with an ongoing condition, not a one-time interruption.
- Drawer opened during a wash (use Start/Pause before opening)
- Drain restriction or kinked drain hose (inspect routing; consider the dishwasher drain hose 527137 if yours is damaged)
- Excessive suds from the wrong detergent type
- Spray arm or filter plate not seated correctly after cleaning

Why is my Fisher and Paykel DD602 beeping?
Your Fisher & Paykel DD602 DishDrawer can beep to alert you that the cycle is paused, the drawer is not fully closed, or a fault code is active. If the beeping is continuous (about once per second), check the display for a fault code and reset power.
- Press Start/Pause once, then close the drawer firmly and restart the cycle.
- If the unit is paused, resume the cycle; intermittent beeping is a reminder the wash is not finished.
- If the beeping is continuous (every second), press Power to silence it and look for a fault code on the electronic display.
- Reset the dishwasher: turn power off at the mains, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
- Start a short wash to confirm the fault is cleared.
| Beeping pattern | Most common meaning on DD602 | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Intermittent beeps | Cycle paused or drawer not fully latched | Resume cycle; re-close drawer |
| Continuous beeps (about every second) | Fault code is present on the display | Press Power; note code; reset power |
We recommend using the fault code chart in the owner's manual to match the code to the likely cause and the recommended fix. Some codes point to installation or water supply issues (for example, inlet hose connection, water pressure, or drain hose routing).
- Water supply valve is fully open
- Inlet hose is connected and not restricted
- Drain hose is supported and not kinked
- Excess suds from the wrong detergent (use dishwasher detergent only)
- Spray arm and filter plate are assembled correctly and free of debris
Beeping is the DD602’s way of preventing incomplete washing or protecting components like the motor assembly and heater system. Addressing the cause quickly helps avoid poor cleaning, standing water, and repeat fault codes.
