Why is my Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer leaking?

A hardened lid seal or a drawer that is not closing fully are the most common causes. Overloading or dishes blocking the lid can also cause leaks. Replacing the lid seal usually solves it.

There's orange residue in my Lancaster dishwasher. Is it broken?

Probably not. Iron in well water often leaves that residue. Cleaning the tub and spray arms helps, and an iron filter for the house may be the long-term fix.

My Lancaster dishwasher won't fill. Could it be the well?

Yes. Sediment can clog the inlet valve screen. If cleaning it does not help, the valve may need replacing, which is a common repair.

Fisher & Paykel Dishwashers: What We Check First

The DishDrawer is the reason many people know Fisher & Paykel. Each drawer is a complete dishwasher: a pull-out tub, an integrated motor and pump at the bottom, a filter, and a lid that lowers to seal the tub during the wash. A flexible harness and hose follow the drawer as it opens and closes, carrying power, signals and water. In a double DishDrawer, the top and bottom are independent machines that share a cabinet but not a motor or control. Fisher & Paykel also sells conventional built-in dishwashers, which follow a more familiar design.

Hardened lid seal letting water or steam escape the drawer
Lid mechanism failure preventing the tub from sealing
Integrated motor and pump fault stopping the wash
Worn flexible harness causing intermittent drawer faults

The full explanation, including what you can safely check yourself and when repair beats replacement, is in our Fisher & Paykel dishwasher repair guide.

Iron, sediment and spray arms

On private wells around Lancaster, sediment and iron clog the dishwasher's inlet valve screen and build up inside the spray arms. A slow fill, weak spray, gritty dishes or orange-brown residue in the tub are typical signs. Remove the spray arms and rinse their holes, clean the filter at the bottom of the tub and keep any whole-house sediment filter on its change schedule.

In older in-town homes, the dishwasher may have been added to a kitchen that was never designed for one. Long drain runs to the sink, aging supply lines and installs that are not quite level lead to door leaks, slow draining and water left standing in the tub. Before booking, check that the drain hose has a high loop under the sink and that the unit sits level.

The repair visit

Lancaster appointments may be grouped into route days. If the dishwasher is leaking, turn off its breaker and the supply valve under the sink. The technician tests the inlet valve, the drain pump, the heater, the float and the controls, then explains the cause and quotes the repair before starting.
