Float 

Switch 

Open

1. Overfill switch 

stuck in “Overfill” 

position and/or 

dishwasher 

not level.

Remove any items stuck under the 

float. Verify that the float moves 

freely and you hear the “click” of 

the switch contacts. Check/adjust 

level of the dishwasher.

2. Drain hose 

check valve 

not sealing.

Water backs into dishwasher after 

draining and elevates water level.

1. Disconnect drain hose at 

plumbing connection.

2. Elevate hose above dishwasher 

and fill with water. If water flows into 

dishwasher, replace entire drain 

loop. Install as high as possible and 

attach to underside of countertop if 

possible.

3. Fill valve triac on 

control shorted.

If still filling while door is open, fill 

valve is mechanically stuck open 

(see below). If not filling with the 

door open, check operation in 

Service Diagnostics Test Cycle. 

Advance Service Cycle until 

detergent dispenser opens. Fill 

valve should be off. Listen to see if

dishwasher or disconnect power, 

turn off water to dishwasher, 

replace fill valve, and turn water 

back on.

5. Too many suds. 1. Allow unit to fill and wash for 

1 minute. Open door and check for 

excessive sudsing.

2. Instruct customer if using 

improper dishwasher detergent 

(hand detergent).

3. Disconnect power and replace 

dispenser if see excessive rinse aid 

leakage.

6. Open fuse F9 to

Flowmeter

Disconnected or 

damaged 

flowmeter.

1. Disconnect power or unplug unit.

2. Check connections at salt level 

sensor and at flowmeter.

3. Use meter to check for flowmeter 

switch closed. Use meter to check
