Error Code: F6E1 Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Not filling with water.
How to Fix F6E1 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the dishwasher’s power at the circuit breaker and close the hot water supply valve, typically found under the kitchen sink.
- Place a towel on the floor and disconnect the main water supply hose from the dishwasher.
- Remove the lower front access panel (kick plate) by taking out its screws.
- The water inlet valve (Part WPW10195039) is the part the supply hose was connected to. Unplug the two wires attached to it.
- Remove the screw holding the valve’s mounting bracket and take the old valve off.
- Install the new valve, ensuring the connection to the dishwasher tub is sealed properly. Reconnect the wires and the main water supply hose.
- Turn the water on and check for leaks before reinstalling the kick plate and turning on the power.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
