Possible Causes
Closed or partially closed water supply valve, Blocked inlet hose filter, Failed water inlet valve, Low household water pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.
- Check water supply: Ensure the water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open. Confirm household water pressure is normal by checking nearby faucets.
- Inspect inlet hose: Turn off the water, disconnect the inlet hose from the tap, and check the small mesh filter at the hose end. Clean any sediment under running water.
- Check for kinks: Make sure the inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the unit.
- Test fill: Reconnect the hose, turn on water and power, and start a cycle. Listen for the inlet valve opening and water entering.
If the dishwasher still does not fill and F6 reappears, the water inlet valve or its wiring is likely faulty and should be tested and replaced.
