  1. Repairman –

    Exact replacement for the dish drawer
    Works as good as described. this unit replaced the one that was in there that was destroyed by the dish basket rusting. The rust had ground up the old rotor causing failure. so make sure you check your old basket and make sure it’s in good shape. Otherwise you’ll end up replacing this one in time.

  2. Moss Mini –

    Works excellent. Washer Model Fisher and Paykel DD605FD
    Easy to diagnose and fix yourself. If the Motor Rotor is broken and or not spinning freely, replace.

  3. DelBoy –

    It works just like the original equipment and easy to install.
    Since there are actually 2 dish washers in our set, and we use the top one the most, the bottom washer froze up for lack of use. It is so easy to replace this little motor that I only put it in when we need to use both dish washers at the same time. It should last a long time this way.

    Took 4 tries to get one that worked properly, but now it works great
    I have the DD605 dish drawers. One of them started making a heinous sound when running. Then, I started to get F2 errors and it would not work at all. Googling, it appeared the solution was to replace the rotor.I initially purchased a used unit from Amazon. Bad idea – installed, and the sound and F2 error were gone but the unit would not drain fully. Googling that problem, it also appeared to be a rotor issue. Swapping rotors between the two drawers confirmed it was a rotor problem.So i returned for a replacement, and got another used rotor. Another bad idea. Same issue with lack of drainage.Returned that unit, and bought a new one. I bought it from a third-party seller. SAME ISSUE. Back it went.Finally, i bought another one, this time where Amazon as the seller. This one was packaged slightly differently than the third party one i bought, and had writing on the side of the rotor. I popped the rotor in, and FINALLY everything working fine.So if you have similar problems (either loud noise while running, F2 error or lack of full drainage), it is a very easy fix if you get a good rotor.I would suggest:a) Do NOT buy a used version, because it’s probably one that someone already determined does not workb) The one I bought where Amazon was the seller (not a third party) worked for me and looked slightly different from the third party seller one i purchased (which did not work).Since I have two dish drawers, I experimented with swapping the rotors in every case. In all cases, the problem (loud noise, F2 error or not fully draining) followed the rotor. So I was certain at any step that the rotor was the problem.Do not be afraid to tackle this yourself – I can do the full job in about 30 seconds now. But you can confirm quickly by running a rinse cycle and seeing if any water remains on the bottom of the drawer. When you insert the unit make sure you line it up properly rather than just feeling and twisting, it pops right in if you have the tabs lined up right.

    Fixed my dishwasher!
    Was very pleased that this fit in my Fisher and Paykel DD24DCTX6. Was stopping mid-cycle, flooding, and the buttons were freaking out. Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! Even had a repair guy come out and he was useless.
