How to Fix Amana Dishwasher Error LF

Error Code: LF Difficulty: Moderate

Problem: Long fill, the washer is taking too long to fill.

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

1. Check that your home’s water supply valve for the dishwasher is completely open.
2. Inspect the water inlet hose connected to the back of the dishwasher. Make sure it is not kinked or crushed, which would restrict water flow.
3. Turn off the water supply. Disconnect the inlet hose and check the filter screen inside the connection port on the dishwasher. Clean any debris you find on the screen.
4. The issue could also be a siphoning problem if the drain hose is installed incorrectly. Ensure the drain hose is looped up to the height of the countertop before it connects to the sink drain or garbage disposal.
5. If the previous steps don’t resolve the issue, the water inlet valve may be failing and opening too slowly. This part controls the flow of water into the dishwasher.
6. To replace the valve, turn off power and water, remove the front access panel, disconnect the lines and wires from the old valve, and install the new one.
7. After installation, reconnect all lines, turn on power and water, and check for proper filling and any leaks.
8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
