Best Fisher & Paykel Dishwashers

We have experienced major problems with Fisher & Paykel Double DishDrawer and have found it to be the most unreliable and disappointing dishwasher we… Read more

have ever used. Major issues include: * recurring electronic control board failures * poor cleaning performance * draining failures and poor drying * flimsy plastic rack components * high repair costs There seems to be a serious manufacturing issue relating to the electronic control board which even the Fisher & Paykel technicians cannot repair. We have experienced this with our current and previous dishwasher where 4 different technicians failed to fix the reoccurring electronic board failures. Therefore, we would like to warn future customers in purchasing this dishwasher so they can avoid the frustrations and extreme disappoint we have encountered.

Model DD60ST19 Fisher & Paykel (my second replacement) fully integrated single XL drawer- looks impressive - performance however not!!! As a 2… Read more

persons household, usage for general dishes only as stainless steel pots & Crystal always done by hand. Unit was installed by Fisher & Paykel team in Feb 2024. From onset the inside always has pooled water on inside rim which was brushed off as condensation & told to use longer cycle however none of the cycles dried the interior & have to constantly wipe inside rim & drain cups etc on a tea towel. Just one week after 12 months expiry the circuitry went & luckily as good will gesture it was replaced free of charge as they found the component design to be faulty & upgraded it with new unit. As an Interior Designer my experience is there are better dishwasher at a much cheaper price however if its "Designer Look " then this model achieves that.

Shortly after the warranty expired problems began. Flimsy plastic parts of the racks broke, the rinse aid indicator fell out and the rinse aid… Read more

function stopped working totally. The machine began to give error codes as the impeller refused to stay on the shaft until I drilled a small hole through it and permanently glued it with a loctite product. Over time the machine began to be extremely noisy and eventually the pump failed totally. I would not recommend the product at all. Customer service simply did not want to know about it.

Four years of normal household use and now it's completely dead! Water completely cold throughout cycles, detergent dispenser not opening, cycle… Read more

timer stuck on '1 min remaining' for 30+ mins. Dishes are dirty, wet and cold. No error codes, spray arms clear, filters clean. After researching I found this is a documented failure pattern; identical heating element and control board failures between 3-5 years. I've contacted them and their response is DISAPPOINTING. Failed to respond after a written complaint, when I called, they stressed that this is out of their goodwill so they will send a technician out more than a week away. I asked if I could arrange for a technician on my own to expedite, obviously they said nope. A dishwasher failing at its core function after 4 years is not acceptable quality. Save yourself the headache, we are now left to buy another dishwasher (we rang a tech and they said don't bother, it'll cost too much to fix). Bosch - here we come.

So much worse than the original. The beloved Fisher Paykel double dishdrawer dishwasher that came with my apartment finally packed up after 15 years… Read more

of loyal service. I looked at reviews of a lot of dishwashers and even though the dishdrawer was not recommended by many review companies, I loved the convenience of it so I splashed out and spent over two grand for a new dishdrawer. That was nearly 8 months ago, and I’ve gotta say I’m not a fan. The modern dishdrawer seems to be a lot flimsier, more plastic than metal. The cycles take much longer and at the end of a cycle I can’t say my dishes are always clean. The base of the dishwasher is designed poorly so any item that slightly protrudes interferes with the spinning wash spray arm. So countless washes have to be redone after trying to re-distribute items so they don’t interfere with the flimsy spray arm. The next problem is that for the last month or so there has been a flashing red fault light on the display for the bottom dish drawer. And yet nowhere in the documents that came with the dishwasher or in my attempts to communicate with an online Chatbot, can I get an explanation as to what that flashing symbol means. Once upon a time the instruction manual that came with the dishwasher would clearly indicate what each fault means. But not any more it seems. Instead the dishwasher is bizarrely connected to Wi-Fi for no good reason. And yet communicating via QR code to an AI Chatbot to get information and do some troubleshooting is next level infuriating. (Why can’t that wifi connection communicate the information?) Even if you include all the relevant information about the make and model (which for some st^pid reason is not written anywhere on the dishwasher but only in the documents that came with it if you bothered to keep them), the troubleshooting suggestions they provide seem to be for different models. And yes, despite doing all the troubleshooting recommended, that unexplained flashing warning symbol persists . These AI chatbots seem to be designed to infuriate rather than assist with anything.

I loved this dishwasher when it worked. For 8 months I would have encouraged everyone to buy this machine, it washed beautifully (I do not prewash),… Read more

dried wonderfully (if you have the rinse aid in). Lovely features like the door automatically opening to assist drying and the delay. It can be connected which I never did but a nice feature. the adjustability of the wash settings and the ease of use are incredible. It fits so much, and the baskets are great, the adjustability of shelf heights and the ability to lay down the supports fitting EVERYTHING was so easy. Its reasonably quiet. For the price of the machine it has a lot of features. Unfortunately, we are not in a serviceable area so when it started faulting it could not be repaired and it will be refunded, and we will need to replace it, after waiting months to get the original machine I won't wait again. I am sad to see it go as I love this machine for the price I just wish it lasted longer. That said I live in NT with very hard water.

I’ve had dishwashers for over 35 years. This double drawer fisherpaykel DD60D4NB9 is with out a doubt The WORST dishwasher I have ever had. It… Read more

doesn’t clean the dishes or the cutlery at all. Even after several washes. I’ve had it 5 months it cost over $2500. And I won’t use it any more. I cannot believe how bad it is. I might as well spit on the dishes it would clean them better.

Worked fine for 12 months then the display panel broke. The approved repairer came out and didn’t have all the parts. So now need to wait as they… Read more

order more parts to fix my appliance. I usually get F and P- really disappointing and I will think twice again about getting anything else from them. Trying to get onto someone from the company, is really hard also.
