How to Fix AL5 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Turn off the power to the dishwasher at your home’s circuit breaker.
  2. Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher, usually located under the sink.
  3. Carefully pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the water inlet hose and valve at the back or bottom.
  4. Inspect the water inlet hose for any kinks or sharp bends that could block water flow and straighten it if necessary.
  5. 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.
  6. If the hose and screen are clear, the water inlet valve itself may be faulty and require replacement by a professional.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
