How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error E1

Error Code: E1 Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Indicates a water supply issue, which could be due to a blocked water inlet filter, a kinked or blocked hose, or a faulty water supply valve.

How to Fix E1 Error (Step-by-Step)

1. First, check the water supply. Find the hot water valve for the dishwasher, usually under the kitchen sink, and make sure it is turned all the way on.
2. Inspect the water inlet hose for any visible kinks or twists that could be blocking water flow. Gently straighten the hose if you find any.
3. For safety, turn off the power to the dishwasher at your home’s circuit breaker.
4. Place a towel under the hose connection on the dishwasher. Unscrew the water inlet hose from the dishwasher. Inside the connection point on the dishwasher, look for a small filter screen.
5. Carefully pull this screen out with pliers, rinse it thoroughly under a faucet to remove any grit or debris, and then put it back in.
6. Reconnect the hose securely. Turn the power and water supply back on.
7. Try to start a new wash cycle to see if the problem is resolved.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
