What to do when DESCALING NEEDED shows on the home applianceKind of codeScale and descaling
Minerals from the water supply have built up where the appliance heats or freezes water: a steam oven's generator, a built-in coffee system, a dishwasher's heating path, an ice maker's mold and valve. The appliance asks for a descale because scale slows heating and blocks small passages. Run the descaling program with the descaler the maker names, check the water-hardness setting against your local water, and put the next descale on the calendar.
Usually leads toWater filter and descaling service
Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.
Shows up asWhite Scale on Appliance Water Parts: Steam Ovens, Ice Makers, Dish Care
White scale on appliance water parts is a chalky white or tan crust on a steam oven tray, an ice mold or plate, a dispenser outlet or the inside of a dishwasher, left by hard water.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for DESCALING NEEDED on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press OK when about 45 minutes are available, or BACK to postpone.
Remove the tank and any fitted water filter, add the descaling solution as the screen directs, attach the water spout, and place a large enough container under the spouts.
Fill the tank to MAX for each rinse pass, emptying the drip tray first so it does not overflow.
Book a visit if the reminder returns immediately after a fully completed cycle.

It usually turns into water filter and descaling service. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
DESCALING NEEDED runs on a water-hardness timer, not a sign that the machine has failed, and it is a separate message from the water filter's own reminder.

A booking goes further when it has the reminder or code as shown, the model number from the rating plate, and a word on when that filter, screen or tub was last cleaned. With those three, the office can pack the right filter or cleaner for your appliance.
