Problem: Wrong User Interface Installed / Communication Error

How to Fix F6E3 Error

1. Disconnect the dishwasher from power.
2. This error means the main control board and the user interface are not the correct matched pair for the model. This can happen after a repair with the wrong part.
3. Verify the part numbers of both the main control board (usually at the base) and the user interface (in the door/console).
4. Order and install the correct, matching component(s) for your specific dishwasher model number.
5. Replacing either board involves accessing it, carefully swapping wire harnesses, and reassembling.

Problem: Water Supply Tap Closed / Communication Error

How to Fix F6E4 Error

1. First, check the simple solution: ensure the water supply valve under your sink is turned on fully.
2. If the water is on, the float switch may be stuck in the ‘up’ (full) position. Open the dishwasher and find the plastic float dome in the bottom of the tub. Lift it up and down a few times to ensure it moves freely.
3. If it’s stuck, clean any debris from around the float stem.
4. If it moves freely but the error persists, the float switch itself has failed. Disconnect power, access the switch from underneath the tub, and replace it.

Problem: Low Water Level / Water Softener Fault

How to Fix F8E2 Error

1. This error can indicate a low water level or a fault in the water softener system (if your model has one).
2. First, ensure proper water supply as described in the ‘6-1’ error. Check that the inlet valve is working.
3. If the water level is fine, the error may relate to the drain pump not clearing water properly, causing a sensor misread. Check the drain path for clogs.
4. If your model has a water softener, check the salt level and ensure the reservoir cap is tight. A fault in the softener’s regeneration cycle can trigger this error, which may require replacing the drain pump or other softener components.
