⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: I5A Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Wash pump over temperature or overload.
How to Fix I5A Error (Step-by-Step)
- Turn off the dishwasher’s power at the circuit breaker and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Remove the bottom dish rack to access the filter and sump area.
- Twist and remove the main filter assembly. Clean it thoroughly under running water to remove any food particles or buildup.
- Check the sump opening for any foreign objects like glass, bones, or plastic that could restrict water flow and cause the pump to overload.
- If the filter and sump are clear, the issue may be a failing wash pump motor that is overheating.
- To replace the pump (Part #154844301, #807473201, or #154853801), you must pull the dishwasher out, lay it on its back, and swap the component from underneath.
- After replacement, reinstall the dishwasher and run a cycle to ensure the error is gone.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
