How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check drying performance: At the end of a cycle, open the door. If there is heavy condensation and no warm air, the fan or vent may not be working.
  • Inspect vent: Locate the vent on the inner door. Ensure it is not blocked by dishes or labels and that the vent cover is intact.
  • Access fan: Remove the inner door panel to access the drying fan assembly. Check for obstructions, lint, or debris in the fan blades and duct.
  • Wiring check: Confirm the fan connector is secure and wiring is not damaged.
  • Test cycle: After reassembly, run a drying cycle. If E11 persists, the fan motor or control board may need replacement.

Warning: Do not operate the dishwasher with the inner door panel removed.
