Dishwasher shows F6E1; unit does not fill with water; you may hear the drain pump but no fill.

Safety First: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.

• Verify water supply: Confirm the shutoff valve under the sink is fully open and the supply hose is not kinked or crushed.
• Check household water pressure: Low pressure can prevent proper filling. Ensure other faucets have normal flow.
• Inspect inlet valve and screen: Remove the toe-kick, locate the inlet valve, and check the screen for debris. Clean if clogged.
• Test valve coil: With power off, test the valve coil resistance. Replace the valve if the coil is open or shorted.
• Flow meter (if equipped): Some Whirlpool models use a flow meter in the fill line. If the valve opens but the control does not sense flow, the flow meter may be defective and require replacement.
