Fitted a new pcb to top drawer,the old one had been blown by a trapped wire,the machine then ran for about 2 minutes& now the top drawer is completely dead,put the new pcb onto the bottom drawer & it works fine so new pcb is ok,could it be the pcb in the base has now gone or am i missing something obvious? Any ideas welcome,thanks Alan
Re: Fisher paykel dishdrawer DD603H
There is a thermal fuse on the element plate which also has a printed resistor on it as well as the heater, the resistor is part of the power supply for the top board – check the thermal fuse as it will probably be blown then when replaced and before running the machine through a cycle check to see if the centre of the element plate is getting hot, if it is then you may have a faulty diode on the board.

Thanks very much for the info,what board would the faulty diode be on? thanks Alan
Re: Fisher paykel dishdrawer DD603H
It would be whichever control board that is fitted to the draw of the hot element.
Another thought would be to check that the main motor rotor is free to turn as I have seen a jammed motor take out more than one of these thermal fuses.

Re: Fisher paykel dishdrawer DD603H
Ok,thanks,i didnt mean to sound thick about the board! But it was a new board that i had just fitted and wasnt sure if you meant there was another board that controlled the heater,i have not had much to do with these so am still learning about them! I assume the heater is quite a low wattage as i couldnt see any relays? Any way thanks for your help i will go back and check thermal fuse,is this available as a spare part as couldnt see it on connect. Thanks again Alan
Re: Fisher paykel dishdrawer DD603H
The heater is approximately 900W and is controlled by a small relay on the draw control board, the thermal fuse is part of the heater assembly and cannot be bought separately.
