How to narrow it down

Use the brand, appliance type, and exact code together. A symptom search can point to the right category, but the model number controls the exact manual steps and access points.

Open the matching code page below for aliases, model-family notes, source links, and the safest check order.

Safe first checks

  1. Open the dishwasher supply valve under the sink fully.
  2. Inspect the visible inlet hose or line for kinks.
  3. Confirm the sink faucet has normal pressure.
  4. Check whether recent sink or disposal work closed the valve.
  5. Avoid pulling out the dishwasher for a first-pass check.

Stop troubleshooting when

  • The valve will not turn safely.
  • Water leaks under the sink.
  • The fill warning returns after visible supply checks are normal.
