DD24SCX7 Beeps but Will Not Start
The useful evidence was the split inside diagnostics: the P1 wash-motor function did not operate, while P2 still attempted to drain. That narrows the disabled path without proving which part failed.
What the test result established
- The model was Fisher & Paykel DD24SCX7.
- The drawer would not begin a normal cycle and only beeped.
- The P1 diagnostic function did not run the main wash motor.
- The P2 function attempted to run the drain operation.
This is more specific than a general no-start complaint. It shows that at least one diagnostic function could still be requested while the wash-motor path did not respond.
A similar symptom can have a different cause on another DishDrawer model. The diagnostic labels and expected responses must be confirmed from the exact service procedure.
What the split does not prove
A silent wash-motor test does not by itself distinguish a jammed rotor, failed motor component, missing supply, harness problem or control command. The functioning drain attempt only shows that the machine was not completely unresponsive.
The source ended before electrical or mechanical tests were reported, so no part can be labeled as the confirmed cause.
Useful observations before a service visit
- Record the exact beep pattern and any symbols on the display.
- Note whether water remains in the drawer.
- Listen for a hum, click or brief movement when a wash cycle is requested.
- Prepare the full model and a list of any previous rotor, pump or control work.
A technician can then verify the service-mode result and separate a blocked mechanical load from its wiring and control path.
Is P1 being presented as an error code?
No. In this case P1 was the diagnostic wash-motor function, while P2 attempted the drain function.
Does the failed P1 test prove the rotor is bad?
No. The motor load, supply, harness and control path were not separated before the source discussion ended.
