Possible Causes

Safety First: Disconnect power and shut off water supply.

Locate flow meter: On many Whirlpool dishwashers, the flow meter is in-line with the inlet valve or integrated into the fill assembly.
Inspect for kinks or debris: Check the fill hose and flow meter body for obstructions or kinks that could affect water flow.
Check wiring: Ensure the small harness from the flow meter to the control board is intact and fully seated.
Replace flow meter: If wiring is good and the error persists, replace the flow meter with the correct Whirlpool part.
