Quick answer
F4 on a DCS DD24 DishDrawer is listed as a faulty temperature sensor or element; call service.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so F4 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Faulty temperature sensor or element.
F4 is the DishDrawer manual’s way of flagging a faulty temperature sensor or element on the DD24.
