Quick Answer
Error code F2 on your Fisher & Paykel Dishwashers means: Motor Fault - Wash Motor Not Running. This is usually fixable — see the step-by-step guide below.
Affected Models
Likely Causes
  1. Wash motor has seized due to a foreign object in the pump impeller
  2. Motor windings have burned out from prolonged overload or a short circuit
  3. Motor control board (rotor position sensing) is not driving the motor correctly
  4. Motor wiring connector has a broken pin or loose connection
How to Fix It
1
Listen for any sound from the motor when the cycle starts; a humming noise indicates a jammed motor, silence indicates an electrical failure
2
Remove the drawer filter assembly and check the wash pump intake for debris, glass fragments, or utensil pieces
3
Clear any obstructions and try to spin the motor impeller by hand to verify it rotates freely
4
If the motor is clear of debris, disconnect power and test the motor windings for continuity with a multimeter
5
Replace the wash motor if windings are open or if the motor is mechanically seized after clearing debris
