Error Code: F14 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Water intake fault where the heater pressure switch registers no or insufficient water pressure at the circulation pump during the heating step.
How to Fix F14 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dishwasher from power by turning off the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply valve, usually located under the sink.
- Carefully pull the dishwasher out from under the counter. You may need to remove mounting screws from the countertop brackets first.
- Lay the dishwasher on its back or side on a towel to access the components underneath.
- Locate the water inlet valve, which is where the main water line connects to the dishwasher. It will have an electrical connector and a hose attached.
- Disconnect the wire harness from the valve. Place a small pan or towel underneath and then disconnect the water line and any other hoses.
- Remove the screws holding the old valve in place and install the new one, ensuring all connections are secure.
- Reconnect the wire harness and hoses, then carefully set the dishwasher upright, slide it back into place, and reconnect the power and water before testing.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
