  To stop foaming in your Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher, consider these points: ensure you are using the correct amount of detergent by checking the ‘Wash programs and detergent quantities’ section or following the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. If there's too much egg in the wash load, increase the amount of detergent. Also, the rinse aid setting might be too high, so decrease it. Finally, ensure that the rinse aid dispenser plug is closed tightly.

  If you notice water pooling on the inner rim of the drawer of your Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher after a wash, it may be because the wash program is still underway. No action is required; the program will transition into a more audible phase after the ‘quiet’ phase is over.
