Error Code: B2 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The tank has overflowed.
How to Fix B2 Error (Step-by-Step)
- An overflow condition can be caused by a few different components. First, check that the dishwasher is level, as an unlevel appliance can cause water to pool and leak.
- Inspect the float switch, which is located in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the down position.
- If the float switch is functioning correctly, the problem may lie with the water inlet valve, which could be stuck open and allowing too much water into the dishwasher.
- Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before attempting any repairs.
- You may need to replace the water inlet valve if it is faulty.
- Another potential cause is a faulty pressure switch, which monitors the water level in the dishwasher. If this component fails, it may not signal the inlet valve to shut off.
- If you are not comfortable performing these checks, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
