Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Error Code F2
Wash pump motor fault
Common Causes
- 1Impeller jammed by debris such as glass shards or bone fragments
- 2Wash pump motor winding failure
- 3Drawer-specific control module fault
- 4Seized motor bearing
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Identify which drawer faults — each DishDrawer has its own wash pump motor, so isolate before disassembly
- 2
Remove the spray arm and filter and check the impeller for debris jamming it
- 3
Spin the impeller by hand — if it turns freely but the motor will not run, the winding or control module has failed
- 4
Test the motor winding for continuity, which should read roughly 2-8 ohms across the leads
- 5
A reading of OL or infinite confirms an open winding and a motor replacement
Pro Diagnostic Tip
F2 means the wash pump motor is not responding or is drawing abnormal current. A freely spinning impeller with a dead motor points to the winding or the drawer control module, not a mechanical jam. Winding continuity of 2-8 ohms is healthy.
