Dishwasher stops and displays E6, often early in the cycle

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before removing side or bottom panels.

• Reset power: Leave the appliance unplugged for 5–10 minutes, then reconnect and try a short cycle to rule out a transient error.
• Clean sump area: Remove filters and clean the sump thoroughly to ensure the pressure chamber is not blocked by grease or food residues.
• Inspect pressure hose: Access the pressure switch (usually mounted on the side wall or base). Remove the small rubber hose and check for blockages or splits. Replace if brittle or cracked.
• Check connections: Ensure the electrical connector on the pressure switch is firmly seated and free of corrosion.
• If E6 persists: The pressure switch or control board is likely defective and should be replaced by a technician.
