My Fisher Paykel dish drawers are leaking water from the top drawer and giving me an F1 error code. Since the drawers and all of its wiring/plumbing seem to be self contained, is it possible to fix this problem? If it is going to be an expensive fix, I may just ditch it and buy something new. Has anyone had any experience fixing these dishwashers? Is it worth the expense?
Thank you

I am assuming you have a DD603 dishwasher. A couple of things to check are:
Too tall of an item in the dishwasher keeping lid from closing and sealing the drawer?
Are you using a high quality powder ONLY detergent and only a teaspoon or two of it? Over-sudsing can cause many problems with this machine.
Is it draining properly?
You have to remove the bottom drawer and completely dry the base of the dishwasher to clear the F1. Using a hair dryer helps with this.
Things that could be wrong include worn or torn seal on the lid, bad lid motor(s), leaky hose or valve inside the unit.
