Somehow I have ended up with 4 Fisher and Paykel dishwashers. Some in rentals and some where I live. The F&P dishdrawer is basically an overpriced unreliable piece of junk. Problem is once you have one, a single one, there is little or no option but to replace it with another one or you need to redesign your kitchen. The main problem is the lid… Read more
that closes on the top of the drawer, the fundamental design is terrible with its lid actuators and lid sensors. The lid only has to be a few mm out of wack or you put something slightly too high in the drawer and bingo F51 (flood sensor call the service guy). All the electronics gets wet and corroded. Added to that it doesn't do a great job cleaning the dishes. Then there is the full size DW60FC1X1. Holy moly! How can anyone design a dishwasher in the 2020's that half the time the powder or tablet stays in the automatic dispenser! You basically can't put anything in front of the detergent dispenser or, no detergent is used for that wash! Even item stacked lower down if something blocks the water stream that sprays the dipenser tough luck no detergent that wash. If you want something decent and cheap get a Beko or spend a bit more and get a Bosch.
Very Disappointed – Poor Quality and Even Worse Customer Service Extremely disappointed with my Fisher & Paykel dishwasher. I recently had to pay $311 to repair a Code F30 fault on an appliance that's only a couple of years old and came with a new build. Now, it's not heating or drying, making it practically unusable. The dishwasher has been… Read more
lightly used, yet it continues to underperform, which is completely unacceptable from a brand positioned as premium.
To make matters worse, customer service has been frustrating and unhelpful, lacking any real accountability or support. I expected much better from Fisher & Paykel. I will not be recommending this brand and will definitely be reconsidering future purchases.
Great machine until the 4.5 yr mark when the machine flooded the floor and the motor went. Once again extended product warranty saved me and I have just received a new machine. Harvey Norman were great and their product warranty is a game changer. Show details
Don’t buy one – Silly design, trays slide off tracks constantly Badly designed, tried to contact Fisher & Paykel to see if there was a way to add stoppers or adjust it, the chat feature on their website continually comes up with an error. Will try calling them Show details
Terrible hose quality - risk of flooding – Same problem as Dan N below. The internal hose supplying the upper sprayer arm became brittle and cracked flooding the kitchen. Ended up fixing it myself with a sturdier 10mm PVC hose from Bunnings rather than pay for a technician callout. Also, the main drain hose cracked shortly after which was also replaced. The hose quality is crap and could cause flooding in the kitchen. Luckily we have a tiled floor so no permanent water damage. Show details
F40, F30 and burnt smell – Ran dishwasher over night. Woke to beeping and strange burnt smell. Error F40. Reset, Error F30. It's 15 months old! Drained using old towels, checked plumbing, drain pipe. All good. Reset, same error. F30. At best did a very average job compared to Bosch in previous house. Service call or just bin it? Leaning towards binning it, will never trust it to run unattended given burnt smell. Total rubbish. Show details
Cheap and nasty - Comes with risk of flooding your house – Initially this was a reasonable product. It is not appropriately sized for larger plates (greater than approx 20cm), but we made do. After 4 years of use, an F30 fault code appeared - flood alert. This cost just over $250 to repair (authorised F&P repair). The cause of the fault was a flexible plastic hose that supplied water to the upper arm -… Read more
it had split. Upon closer inspection, the hose had become brittle and was in such a state that it could be snapped with thumb and finger pressure. See attached photo.
This is unacceptable for a product that should provide 10 or so years of life. F&P have cheapened out, using hoses that are not fit for purpose, and come with the risk of flooding your kitchen.
A piece of sh!t – Wash cycle too long. Noisy. After warranty runs out (2 years) F30 error - flooding. Repairer showed me that the dish sprinkler plastic pipe had a rip in it from wear and tear. Same issues as Dale's review exactly. I would never buy this brand again in a dishwasher. Expensive to repair. Call out fee $$$ from F&P. A piece of crap. Show details
F30 Flood Error - unreliable machine – Machine is usable although it is difficult to fit larger plates and many things will not dry. We are having ours collected after 2.5 years of use. Fisher and Paykel would be willing to send a serviceman at my cost. I will be spending that $250 towards buying a new machine from a different brand. Machine leaks internally and triggers flood switch. Never buying F and P again. Show details
Crap product and crap after sales service – Got a fisher and paykel dishwasher and after 12 months it started to become faulty. Turning on and off randomly until it lost all power. Thought this would be covered under warranty and called the customer line who said they would have a technician look at it and repair under warranty. The technician came and then demanded $125 call out fee for… Read more
looking at the dishwasher despite never being told about any fees to repair or replace a faulty product. Was also told that the technician could not repair it and I would have to buy a new one at my own cost because the fault was a cockroach in the unit. My house is a new build and we have rarely seen any cockroaches throughout the whole house yet they claimed we had an infestation in our dishwasher. Not sure why the electrical components are easily accessed by cockroaches. I wouldn't bother paying for a faulty product and then get no decent after sales service. Will be escalating to ACCC however will be without a dishwasher for a longer period. Avoid.
Dishwasher door has developed rust spots in less than 4 years! – Spoke to customer service who said the rust must be from some abrasive chemicals or from scratches. I do not use any abrasive chemicals and have not scratched the dishwasher, which ahs been in the same spot since installation. Customer service has refused to even send a technician out to determine if it is indeed a product fault. Will never but from FISHER AND PAYKEL again.
Don’t buy this dishwasher – Honestly the worst dishwasher I’ve owned had it one month Plates don’t fit unless top baskets Is raised then you can’t fit saucepans in The cutlery rack in top is useless If your a family of more than two do not buy this I have honestly never been so disappointed with a appliance And I have a fisher/ paykel washing machine that I love Also doesn’t dry dishes properly 100 % dissatisfied Don’t buy Show details

Know better, choose better.
Good value – Dishwasher is great. It is a little small when it comes to trying to put larger things in. It appears to be flimsy but it's pretty good. Show details
What a piece of rubbish – The worst thing I have bought for years . It didn't wash properly it broke down lest than 12 months after purchase. To costly to fix even under warranty. This item should be band from Australia. Show details
The worst – The absolute worst dishwasher! had over 8 call outs and is now out of warranty and won’t fix the same problem I’ve been having the past 2 years. Will never get another fisher again. Show details
Absolutely horrible – Doesn’t leave dishes clean. Can’t fit dishes in a good spot because racks are crowded. Turn it on and water sprays so hard it flies them across the washer. Horrible.
Great Machine – The dish washer looks good, its quiet and most of all cleans and dry's dishes. The controls are easy to use with a good variety of settings, I only use the 90 minute setting. I can recommend it is an excellent machine. Show details
Fisher & Paykel dishwasher - absolutely useless! – Fisher & Paykel you have lost your game. This machine doesn’t wash unless the dishes are fully pre washed, it’s a steriliser at best. Bottom rotor rubs on standard plate sizes. Show details
Very Questionable service – When I first bought this dishwasher in April 2020 I thought it was good. Recently it's been giving a F30 error message and not working. After contacting F7P service centre they were insisting I hear all about their additional charges for warranty claims. Was I happy to hear this! It is only 4 months old and it appears F&P want me to possibly pay… Read more
for a machine that is not fit for purpose! Never will buy from a company again that does not stand by their warranty
Avoid this dishwasher – Not enough room to hold big dinner plates. Spray arm cannot turn fully with rearranging all items in dishwasher. No adjustable heights to lift the top drawer for larger dishes. F&P not the same after selling out to China.
