Error Code: F6E3 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Suds or air in the water system.
How to Fix F6E3 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Immediately cancel the current cycle by pressing the ‘Cancel/Drain’ button. Allow the dishwasher to fully drain.
- Open the door and check for a large amount of suds. This is almost always caused by using regular dish soap instead of automatic dishwasher detergent.
- Pour 1 cup of white vinegar or 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil into the bottom of the tub. This will help break down the remaining suds.
- Close the door and run a ‘Rinse Only’ or a short wash cycle with no detergent to flush the system.
- After the cycle, check for suds. If some remain, run a second rinse cycle.
- Always use detergent specifically formulated for automatic dishwashers to prevent this issue from recurring.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
