How to Fix B2 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. An overflow condition can be caused by a few different components. First, check that the dishwasher is level, as an unlevel appliance can cause water to pool and leak.
  2. Inspect the float switch, which is located in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the down position.
  3. If the float switch is functioning correctly, the problem may lie with the water inlet valve, which could be stuck open and allowing too much water into the dishwasher.
  4. Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before attempting any repairs.
  5. You may need to replace the water inlet valve if it is faulty.
  6. Another potential cause is a faulty pressure switch, which monitors the water level in the dishwasher. If this component fails, it may not signal the inlet valve to shut off.
  7. If you are not comfortable performing these checks, it is recommended to seek professional assistance.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
