Thanks! You saved me a lot of time fixing my Fisher Paykel unit. The water inlet on these valves became plugged with iron and muck, which caused both drawers to stop mid-cycle with flashing red LEDs. Neither drawer was getting enough water to run. After removing the inlet line to these valves, I found the clog - the inlet line filter. This filter is removable and can be cleaned and reused.
Thank you for posting. We had the same issue with the DCS version. I was able to change out the valve successfully. I did have to cut away part of the plastic housing to get the valve out and cut a half inch off the ends of the hoses to the tubs before reconnecting.
I have a Fisher Paykel and someone made a mistake to cut my water intake hose in between the two fittings thinking it was a simple 3/8 hose that could be reconnected with a simple compression 3/8 fitting. It is NOT. The hose OD is close to .400. So, my question is, instead of getting a $70 genuine Fisher Paykel replacement plastic hose, are the threads on the soloneoid connector the same as any other dishwasher? In other words, can I used a universal dishwasher stainless steel braided hose with elbow commonly sold everywhere to reconnect my water feed to the machine? Thanks.
I have a newer model so I’m wondering if it’s the same part? There’s water coming out of the top drawer from a small hole underneath the drawer on left side. The drawers have 2 pin holes which are located on each end in front of drawer directly underneath the drawer.

Great info! I have the same dishwasher. My bottom drawer is full of water after I run a cycle. Do you think this could be the same problem?
Thanks for this!
