Very happy with our dish drawers.

published

Very happy with the double dish drawers. I don't rinse anything prior to loading, just do a quick scrape if necessary. Doesn't seem to become clogged, I do wash the filter regularly as it's very easy to do. Very easy to use. Care must be taken when loading as if anything slips down the arm won't spin and it won't clean properly - it's a shame that it doesn't sound an alert if the arm isn't spinning properly.

Double Draws Work

published

We purchased this dishwasher 12 months ago. Being an elderly couple we enjoy the fact you can use just one drawer. It is great on power saving and water as well. Ok because the water impeller is on the bottom you need to be careful stacking. Once mastered it cleans a treat. We use a fast wash but add extra dry time. The only problem we have had is a rust problem on the doors, however Fisher and Paykel have been very quick to rectify the problem. They are due to change the drawer covers next week. I will further comment if required after this.

Absolute rubbish

published

The dishwasher only has one water spinner and that's on the bottom. If you place anything on the top foldout shelves they WON'T be cleaned. A totally bad designed dishwasher.

Fault from Day 1 & no service

published

We have this brand new $1,500 dishwasher and it’s had a fault from Day 1 and Fisher & Paykel can’t send anybody to take a look at it for 18 days?!?! Two days off work, one cancelled appointment due to ‘technician illness’. Not good enough. What appalling ‘service’. We do not recommend this dish drawer or Fisher & Paykel’s customer service.

Love them!

published

We had our dishdrawers installed around a month ago. I've never had a dishwasher before so I'm still learning the best way to load it and I have found some items are too large (chopping boards) however what does fit in the drawers comes out shiny and clean. It does a fantastic job and I love that I can have one load washing while I'm waiting to fill the other drawer. It keeps our kitchen looking tidy as we don't have to keep dirty dishes in our sink, plus we can run a deep wash and a light wash at the same time depending on what we've cooked. Would buy these again.

Nope. Don’t do it.

published

Not happy with this purchase. Cumbersome to stack. Does not clean well. Need to use the “extra dry” function to get normal drying results. Long cycle times but can’t even think about using the Fast function as it does nothing. Would not recommend and will definitely not buy again. The convenience of having two drawers is far outweighed by all these negatives. Should have stuck with the Fisher and Paykel traditional style we had two homes previously- couldn’t fault that one.

Nothing but trouble with this double draw dish washer

published

We've had nothing but trouble ever since buying this fisher & paykle double draw dish washer. At fist we thought it super cool having two draws but it uses space for the draws were a single has little more room. We also can't find out how to turn off the second draw

Stay clear

published

Not a fan of writing bad reviews but honestly - stay away from this dishwasher - stay away from any Fisher & Paykel 2 draw dish washer. Whats my complaint ? Very simple - It doesn't wash dishes. Even after 5 service calls it still doesn't work the way it should.

Our second dish-drawer - well made and very quiet

published

Our second stainless steel dish drawer after the first one lasted 15 years+ and was still working well when sold.
Not much has changed form the earlier model except this one is noticeably quieter.
Similar results whether using Finish or Fairy, but advisable to presoak pots to get the best result.
Simple to install and looks great in our kitchen.

Average at best

published

Firstly the draws are too small and I cannot seem to fit the bigger saucepans and then I have to use both draws. It was easier with the other dishwasher one load fitted everything in no using twice as much dish-washing tables.
Its an ok dishwasher nothing special. We bought it because we trust the brand.
We still trust the brand, we probably just bought the wrong dish-washer for our needs.

Very happy with it

published

I was unsure about buying this dishwasher as I had read some negative reviews about it but I really liked the two drawer style and decided to give it a go. I'm very glad we did. Being able to do one drawer at a time or both together is fantastic, I love that option. It cleans very well, is easy to use and is not too loud. We had so much frustration with our previous dishwasher, having to rewash things constantly and it was noisy, we have none of those problems anymore. It's pretty easy to stack everything in nicely but sometimes I do have to do a little bit of juggling things around when I have big pots and pans to fit in but as long as I don't overcrowd it, it washes everything really well. Very happy with this purchase.

F&P, beware of copies flooding onto market when patent runs out!

published

Best designed dishwasher on the market. We are onto our second(due to moving house, no fault of the unit) and to be honest we did have some issues with the one in our last house, but every time F&P repaired it under warranty, to their credit. Its just the design that's the killer punch, no bending over to load, or sliding trays out. Does a perfect job.

Great Product but lousy back up from Fisher Paykel

published

Nothing negative about dishwasher however backup from Plumber who installed dishwasher on an angle with gaps either side causing top dishwasher off balance and who is fine about his installation work. Pathetic response from Fisher Paykel who will only send Technician out if they charge us. All we wanted was a Technician to come out and confirm poor installation. One would think a head office would want to make sure their products are being represented to the public by follow up of serious enquiries. Love the product but so sad such poor customer service from FP. Dishwasher still unbalanced.

Questions & Answers

Magstar

Magstarasked

Just bought this dishwasher and the plumber can’t slide it far enough in to the (standard) space as the hoses appear to protrude too far. The left front of the dishwasher sticks out 4-5mm too far which makes it impossible to secure it within the cavity. The only obvious solution is cutting a hole in the drywall to accommodate the hoses. Can anyone suggest what could be the problem?

Never had a double draw dishwasher before. We are confused with the settings. If we only want to do a small wash we can select one draw. If we want to do a large wash can both draws wash at the same time? If so, how do we set it? The indicator lights show 1 bright and 1 dim. Does this mean both draws are washing?

NEVER overload the draw. The dishes will not clean - you need to leave a good space between each item so that the water can get to all items. That is - you only half fill the unit otherwise the dishes won’t clean. They don’t tell you this.

mfeatonasked

the top draw- we clean it weekly and also put rince cleaner through but on taking out the filter we found the round pipe is clogged with food scraps, we clean this manually but is there a way to lift thi slittle filter out and give it a good clean.

Hi, you can remove the washer arm and then rotate the large stainless steel plate to unlock it, this gives good access to the main shaft which can be then removed for cleaning and access to the pipe.
Warning: do not use commercial dishwasher cleaner, the product froths up in the Dish Draws pump and causes an error code.

Thanks, we do use Finish scale cleaner, it comes in a plastic bottle and you take the lid off put in upside down in the basket then run the dishwasher to clean the pipes etc. is that still ok given your Warning message?

Phase 9 does not have a large filter plate.
The "cap" that holds the filter plate in can be removed by rotating anti clockwise about 25 degrees and lifting.
If plates are rinsed before putting in drawer
1/ less detergent can be used, a shorter wash cycle can be selected - less electricity.
2/ less damage to rotor from hard food scraps
3/ less smell between washes (caused by leftover food particles fermenting in water in base) water left in the base is the lubricant for the rotor bearing.
4/ less chance of blocking a drain hose - (not covered by warranty)
