There are three types of dishwashers within the Fisher&Paykel DD range: classic, designer and integrated models. Although the designer line includes appliances with the innovative design features, they may be susceptible to failures and may cost a small fortune in repair costs. Yet, typically in case of a unit fail it is not that difficult to find a spare part.

New Zealand-based manufacturer Fisher & Paykel is a pioneer in producing so-called dish drawers. The non-LCD models typically possess all the advantages of a dish drawer, but in case something goes wrong they require a different approach as error codes shown on the non-LDC display are not similar to those shown on the LCD display.
| Code | MEANING | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|
| Rinse | Flood switch activated | Possible leak |
| Delicate | Motor not detected as rotating | Check for blockage Check the dishwasher motor |
| Delicate + Rinse | Water temperature exceeded 85˚C | Check thermostat or thermistor |
| Fast | Dishwasher not heating | Check dishwasher heater Check thermostat or thermistor |
| Normal + Rinse | Electronics failure | No help available, check electronics and all connectors |
| Heavy + Rinse | No water detected | Check water supply to the dishwasher Check water inlet valve |
