Error Code: AL5 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Water inlet problem.
How to Fix AL5 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the power to the dishwasher at your home’s circuit breaker.
- Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher, usually located under the sink.
- Carefully pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the water inlet hose and valve at the back or bottom.
- Inspect the water inlet hose for any kinks or sharp bends that could block water flow and straighten it if necessary.
- Unscrew the hose from the water inlet valve and check the small filter screen inside the valve’s port for any sediment or debris. Clean it with a small brush if it’s clogged.
- If the hose and screen are clear, the water inlet valve itself may be faulty and require replacement by a professional.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
