I recently replaced a microswitch on a Fisher Paykel DD602 because it was coding U1.  It no longer gives me a code, the LCD is green, and the program pad works fine but when I try to start the drawer it just emits 4 quick beep and does NOTHING.   The manual says that the exhaust valve circuit is open.  How do I check/fix this?

4 quick beeps is usually door is open , double check you work with the switch

iirc in diagnostics you can check the door switch operation

a quick check is if you open the drawer does it power up ?

try lifting up on the drawer then starting it

if the machine starts when you do this you need to shim the drawer rail away from the cabinet

this lifts it slightly so the optic sensor for the drawer aligns properly

602 uses a microswitch not the optical method

I checked my work on the microswitch and the switch is secure, the wires are clean and secure and the rail contacts the bracket latch assembly and the depresses the microswitch.  I swapped the Controller LCD PCB Assembly and Wiring Harness from the top drawer to the bottom drawer but the drawer still does not work so it's not those components.

The LCD display on the bottom drawer remains lit as if the drawer is in the open position and does not ever shut down unless the POWER button is depressed.  Opening ans closing the drawer does nothing. 

If I had hair I'd be pulling it out right now.  I've taken the bottom drawer apart so many times I can do it in my sleep!  Why won't the drawer WORK!!!  Did I get a faulty microswitch?  When I put the new switch in it stopped the U1 code but I can't get the drawer to cycle at all.

on PDF page 37 of the Service Manual, it shows the Tub Home Microswitch is in series with the Lid Exhaust Valve
