Fault Codes
4.6
There are 10 F (fatal) faults, which are displayed in the LCD along with the
symbol of a spanner (not on integrated or flat door models). A fatal fault will
usually require the assistance of a qualified service person.
In addition, there are 4 U (user) faults.
U1 indicates the machine had failed to prime within a certain length of time
usually because the tap has not been turned on. For this reason, at the same
time a U1 comes up in the display we also show the symbol of a tap.
U2 indicates restricted lid travel. The customer can usually rectify a U1 or U2
fault.
A U3 fault is not displayed to the customer, but is recorded in the fault history
and displayed in Smart Tool. It is logged if the motor senses prime in less
than 20 seconds because water was left in the tub from a previous fill, or
because it has filled too quickly. The product will drain and refill up to 5 times
before logging the fault and continuing on with the cycle.
On a double drawer model, a U4 fault indicates an F fault with the other tub
that has disabled the power supply.
In the Integrated and flat door models, an LCD is not available, and the
presence of a fault is indicated by a red centre (start/pause) LED, with the
fault number indicated by the red LEDs on the touch switch panel.
Once a fault is repaired, it can be cleared by pressing the POWER button. If
the fault is still present, then it will not clear.
A fatal or user fault is accompanied by a continuous pulsating beep, which
can be turned off by pressing either the POWER, START/PAUSE, or KEY
LOCK button. This also stops the drain pump running for an F1 fault.
The last two faults are logged into EE memory.
If a tub is forced open, the product simply pauses as if someone had pressed
the start/pause button.
Except for U4, F1, F3, F8 and F9 faults, the other tub can still be used on a
double drawer model.
17

599464
Once the fault has been cleared for an F3, F8 or F9 fault, the power needs to
be disconnected and reconnected to reset the isolation relay before the
product can be used again.

Fault Code Description Chart


4.7
The following chart is a quick reference guide on fault codes. To read a fault
code off an integrated or flat door model, refer to the LED Display column on
the chart below. The LED that has activated on the secondary display
indicates which fault code has occurred.
To make diagnostics easier, a test handle can be made for use on integrated
or flat door models using a cut down handle and a DD605 PCB LCD. This will
not be able to be used on DD603 products, nor can a DD603 test handle be
used on DD605 products.

removed by normal running in the dishwasher. The
dishes will need to be cleaned by soaking them in an
acidic solution (such as white vinegar and water).
Where a water softener is not fitted;
To prevent the build up re-occurring the customer will
need to fill both the main-wash & pre-wash detergent
cups to the top with a power detergent and we would
recommend running on normal cycles.
In problem areas with very hard water, the customer
may need to use a detergent additive designed for use
in hard water areas, or fit a water softener to the
incoming water supply.

34

599464
Where a water softener is fitted;
Set the water softener for the correct local water supply
hardness. Check that the water softener is functioning
correctly in diagnostics.
C1 Water Softener Diverter Valve
In hardware output diagnostics test mode:
FU turn the fill water valve on.
P2 turn the motor drain on.
C1 water softener diverter valve.
On water bypasses the resin tank.
Off water flows through the resin tank.
C2 Water Softener Brine Pump
Turn the Brine Pump on in diagnostics mode. Observe
a small quantity of water (approx. 30 ml per min.)
flowing out the bottom of the dispenser. (Drop the
dispenser door down to observe this.) Observe a
change in the water level (approximately 120ml per 4
min.) in the salt reservoir. The reservoir should pump
dry of water in this time.
Note:- Fill the salt reservoir with salt (and then water if
not already) before performing this test.
Pipe Interrupter (Air Break) Function
A critical component in the performance of the water
softener is the pipe Interrupter (PI). There is a certain
amount of spray leakage from the PI, which is used to
provide water to the salt reservoir.
If the spray is inadequate, there will be insufficient
water in the salt reservoir to make brine.
If there is too much spray, then the excess bypasses
the water softener and defeats the softening process
by pouring untreated water straight into the tub.

35

599464
To check that the amount spray leakage is
appropriate:Fill the salt reservoir with water.
In diagnostics mode, turn on the fill water valve and
the motor drain. Water will flow out of the dispenser
into the tub, as well as out of the water softener
overflow into the tub.
Observe the flow from the water softener overflow
(beside the Dispenser). There should be a trickle
(25-100 ml per minute). With experience you can
guess what is appropriate. If the trickle is outside
these rates, replace the softener, as the PI is faulty.
To check that there is water in the salt reservoir,
remove the drawer front and observe the level of water
in the tank. (A quick way to check that there is water in
the salt reservoir is to remove the salt bung and test
the water level by placing your finger down through the
opening.)
Detergent or Rinse Aid in the Water Softener
If detergent or rinse aid is poured in to the salt
reservoir it will destroy the water softener. This could
also happen if the salt bung is left off or falls out.
Evidence of this could be white streaks through the
resin.
