Dishwasher displays E6; cycle may not start or may stop shortly after starting, sometimes with no water entering.

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply before accessing the base or valve connections.

• Visual inspection: Remove the lower kick panel. Locate the water inlet valve where the supply hose connects. Check for burned connectors, corrosion, or loose plugs.
• Check wiring harness: Ensure the two-wire connector to the valve is fully seated and not damaged. Repair or replace any burnt or broken wires.
• Coil test (advanced): With power disconnected, use a multimeter to measure resistance across the valve coil. An open circuit (OL) or extremely low resistance indicates a bad coil.
• Board output: If the valve tests good but never receives voltage during fill (requires live testing and extreme caution), the main PCB may be defective and should be replaced by a professional.
