Fisher Paykel Dishwasher Error Code A6
Error Code A6 on your dishwasher indicates a specific issue related to the spray arm.
There are two potential causes for this error:
- Loosened or Dislodged Spray Arm: The spray arm in your dishwasher may have become loose or dislodged from its mounting. This can occur due to wear and tear over time or as a result of a previous mechanical issue. When the spray arm is not securely in place, it cannot function effectively, leading to the A6 error code.
- Low Water Pressure: Another possible cause of the A6 error is insufficient water pressure. If the water pressure is too low, the spray arm may not rotate properly, impacting the dishwasher’s overall performance. Low water pressure can be caused by various factors, such as a clogged filter, a faulty water inlet valve, or issues with the water supply.
Troubleshooting Steps:
-
Inspect the Spray Arm:
- Open the dishwasher door and locate the spray arm.
- Ensure that it is securely attached to its mounting point.
- If loose or dislodged, reattach it following the manufacturer’s guidelines.
-
Check for Obstructions:
- Examine the spray arm and its surroundings for any debris or foreign objects.
- Remove any obstructions that may hinder the rotation of the spray arm.
-
Verify Water Pressure:
- Confirm that there are no issues with the water supply to the dishwasher.
- Check for clogs in the water inlet valve or the dishwasher’s water filter.
- If necessary, clean or replace the filter and address any water supply issues.
-
Run a Test Cycle:
- After performing the above steps, run a test cycle to see if the error persists.
- Observe the spray arm during the cycle to ensure it rotates freely.
If you’ve gone through these troubleshooting steps and the A6 error code persists, it may be advisable to seek professional assistance. Experienced technicians can further diagnose and address any underlying issues with the spray arm or water pressure, ensuring the efficient operation of your dishwasher.
