Possible Causes
Faulty flow meter, blocked dispenser housing, wiring issue to flow sensor, control misreading pulses
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply.
Step-by-step checks:
- Inspect dispenser: Remove the dispenser drawer and clean out detergent buildup. Check the housing for blockages.
- Locate flow meter: On models equipped, the flow meter is in-line with the inlet valve. Inspect wiring and connectors.
- Test flow meter: With a meter, check for appropriate resistance across the sensor. During fill (with proper test setup), it should generate pulses to the control.
When to replace: Replace a faulty flow meter or dispenser assembly as needed. If F30 persists with good components, the main control board may be defective.
