F1 error means that the flood switch has been activated. To reset the flood switch you need to remove the bottom dish drawer to be able to access the reset buttons. To remove the drawer you press in the rectangle buttons and slide them back under the drawer, they are located right behind the front panel at the bottom of the drawer. It may help to have someone help hold the drawer for you. Once they are slid back all the way place the bottom drawer on the floor to the left side of the washer as you look at it. This will give you the access you need. Lie down on the floor so you can see in the bottom. There you will see a white coloured plastic box on each side, one is for the top drawer the other is for the bottom drawer. Make sure the power is off to the dishwasher. Place your finger underneath the box and you will feel a small pin/lever. This is attached to the magnetic flood switch and resets it when you click it one way and then the other. Once you have done this turn the machine back on before you put in the bottom drawer as if it does not work then you will need to activate it maybe a couple of times. Once the F1 alarm disappears you are good to go. Place the drawer back in the opposite way to removal. Slide one rack forward and rest the drawer on it. Then slide the other side out and it will snap lock into position.

After we removed the center blue rotor from ours we put about 4 inches of warm water in the dishwasher, then took our shop vac and vacuumed from the center hole where the rotor was and the suction cleaned out the passageway from the filter area to the rotor area. Then we ran it on the "rinse" cycle and it was running perfectly again. I hope this helps you.

F1 means the flood senor is active which means you have a leak from somewhere and will need further investigating to find the source of the problem, however you can cause it to leak by putting to much soap in it (you want about a teaspoon) also putting something thats to tall or to big will stop the lid from closing properly and cause it to leak, these are things you can check easily

Wonder if you mean rinse cycle. Try to turn the mains power off and turn back on. Clean the panel with clean damp cloth.

Take a damp clean cloth and clean the touch panel where you set the cycle. If this does not work try turnign the mains power off and back on. I am assuming by fast cycle you mean rinse. It is likely the heater unit has a problem which the controller might be sensing and preventing you from selecting the long cycles that use hot / warm water for wash.

Old question, but for anyone else, hears the answer - http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/1015047This model has a product recall, minehas done the same as described above, recall issued Aug 2012.

my dd603 takes 3 hrs to do a 55 minute cycle-who can help me

Sounds like the electrical solenoid that turns the water on and off is sticking open. The valve is under the bottom of the washer and is the first item the inlet water line attaches to. You will need to replace the assembly with a new one.

This product is total ****. Pull it out, call whoever sold the **** to you and tell the to come get it and shove it up their ***. Then buy a Bosch and live a happy life. The design is moronic. The machine is like the old jaguar. It looks good but you need two. One for the repairman to fix and one to use. These **** things should be put in a landfill. If I ever find Mr. Fisher and Mr. Paykel I will kick their *****.

I'm sure this is pump out problem,water not draining out.

Hi,

F4 indicates that there has been no temperature increase detected for 2 hours while the element is on.

Possible causes are,

The element is not connected, broken wires.

The element has failed in an open circuit. Element blown.

The temperature sensor has failed. Unlikely as water is cold.

The electronic controller has failed. Possible as this supplies the power to the element.

In essence, you are looking at either a faulty element, broken wires or a faulty control board.

Let me know, if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Disconnet Dishwasher, Remove lower dishdraw, soak up excess water with a towel, use a hairdryer to dry water especially under grey plastic cover. Then check seal on either dishdraw and make sure they are not kinked or leaking as this has most likely caused the problem. Power up problem should be resolved. Don't leave dishdraw unattended till you validate problem definately fixed.

Hi and wlecome...
You should not use anything other than powered dishwasher detergent in these products. They are not designed for tablet-style detergents. The reason is because the dispenser does not "open" during the wash cycle like you would see on a conventional dishwaser. The incoming water pours over the detergent and releases the mixture out the bottom of the dispenser.
