The DD601 is where the DishDrawer story starts. Fisher & Paykel built a dishwasher that opened like a drawer and sealed horizontally, and nobody else has copied it since — which is precisely why an owner with one still working is reluctant to give it up. Machines this old are diagnosed by inspection rather than by code: the filter, the spray path, the drain and the seal are checked directly, because there is no useful display to interrogate.
