Fisher & Paykel dishwasher model 920 - Flood error reset?

Fixing this is a 5 minute job - you need to dry out the flood sensor.

1. Empty the bottom drawer and remove any excess water.
2. Remove it from the runners - depress the clips in the bottom side corners just behind the front fascia, pull it forward 2 inches and lift.
3. Put it on its side, carefully, without damaging the cables and wires and slide the runners back in.
4. Dry out the bottom of the machine with a cloth or kitchen towel.
5. Dry the flood sensor inlet for two or three minutes with a hair dryer - this is the small raised bit about one third of the way from the left hand side and half way between the front and back.
6. Carefully put the drawer back on the runners and push it all the way back in until the catches click home.

I'm just a customer, not connected with F&P. This works for me. Its a drag but not a major problem.

Hope this is helpful.

Works a treat Thankyou.....:)

my 920 gave this warning. there is a flood tray underneath the machine to catch any floods. my "flood" was due to guide wheels missing on the upper tray and water was spraying out of the cabinet and down the outside of the wash chamber. in the bottom of the machine (in this flood tray) (remove machine and tip on back) is a piece of foam 6mm thick by 50 x 30) this floats in the flood tray and flips a micro switch. dry the tray and remove the cause of the "flood". re-assemble.

Actually it is much easier. The thread referred to above is correct, just take the dw out and tilt to 45 degrees to both sides. Water comes out, F1 gone.
