How to Fix F4E3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply valve under the sink.
- Disconnect the drain hose and the water supply line. Have a small bucket and towels ready to catch any remaining water.
- Remove the screws that mount the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop.
- Carefully slide the dishwasher out of the cabinet and lay it on its back on a soft towel or blanket.
- Locate the large circulation pump and motor assembly (Part W10805386 or W11133712). Disconnect the wire harnesses and use pliers to release the clamps on the attached hoses.
- Unbolt and remove the old pump assembly. Install the new one, making sure to securely tighten all hose clamps and reconnect the electrical plugs.
