Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Drain Pumps and Wash Pump Motors

Replacement drain pumps and wash pump motors for Fisher & Paykel dishwashers. Genuine and compatible units for DW60, DW90, DD60, and DD90 series models. Most orders go out same day from our Palmerston North warehouse.

Fisher & Paykel sells parts directly through their NZ website but stock is not always available for older models. We hold a range of drain pumps and wash motors in stock so you are not waiting. Match your model number before ordering. Send us a photo of the old pump and your dishwasher model number if you are not sure.

How to find the right Fisher & Paykel dishwasher pump

Fisher & Paykel uses different pump and motor configurations across its dishwasher range. A drain pump from a DW60 will not fit a DD60 DishDrawer. The part number on the pump itself is the most reliable guide.

Before you order, check three things:

Your dishwasher model number. It is on a sticker inside the door, along the top edge of the inner door panel. Write it down in full including the suffix letters.

The pump part number. If the old pump is still accessible, look for the part number on the pump housing. Fisher & Paykel part numbers usually start with H01 or a six-digit number. Match this to the product listing.

Drain pump or wash pump. These are different parts with different jobs. The drain pump removes water from the machine. The wash pump motor circulates water through the spray arms during the wash cycle. Know which one you need before ordering.

Send us a photo of the old pump and your dishwasher model number. We'll confirm the right replacement before you spend anything.

Signs your Fisher & Paykel dishwasher pump needs replacing

Watch for these before the dishwasher stops working:

  • Water sitting in the bottom of the dishwasher after a cycle has finished

  • The dishwasher stops mid-cycle with water in the tub

  • A humming sound during the drain phase but no water movement

  • Dishes coming out dirty or with food residue, particularly in the lower basket

  • A grinding or rattling noise during the wash or drain phase

A failed drain pump left unattended can cause water to overflow during subsequent cycles. A failed wash pump means the spray arms stop spinning and dishes do not get clean. Both are worth replacing promptly.

Fitting Fisher & Paykel dishwasher pumps

Drain pump and wash pump replacement on Fisher & Paykel dishwashers involves accessing the base of the machine. The dishwasher needs to be tilted or laid on its side. The pump connects to the electrical harness and the water circuit.

Safety Note

Dishwasher pumps are electrical components connected to the mains supply. Always unplug the dishwasher before attempting any access to the base. Pump replacement must be carried out by a sparky.

Fisher & Paykel dishwasher pump FAQ

How do I know if my dishwasher has a drain pump or wash pump fault?

If water is not draining out, the drain pump is the likely fault. If the dishwasher drains but dishes are not getting clean, the wash pump motor is more likely. A sparky can confirm the diagnosis before you order.

Does Fisher & Paykel sell these pumps directly in NZ?

Fisher & Paykel NZ does sell parts through their own website but availability varies, especially for older models. We hold a range in stock and can often dispatch same day when their site shows limited availability.

How long does it take to fit a dishwasher pump?

A sparky familiar with dishwasher repairs can usually complete the job in under an hour. The machine needs to be pulled out and tilted to access the base.

My Fisher & Paykel dishwasher is making a humming noise but not draining. What part do I need?

A humming noise with no water movement during the drain phase usually points to a seized or failed drain pump. The motor is trying to run but the impeller is blocked or the motor has burned out. Check the filter is clear first, then consider the drain pump.

Can I get a pump for an older Fisher & Paykel dishwasher model?

Sometimes yes. We stock parts for a range of Fisher & Paykel models including older ones. Email us your model number and we'll check what's available.
