Whirlpool Dishwasher Error Code F6

How to fix Whirlpool dishwasher error code f6

When your Whirlpool washing machine displays the error code F6, it indicates a water supply problem rather than a malfunction. This error typically occurs when the washing machine cannot detect or receive enough water during a wash cycle. This can be caused by several factors, including problems with the water hoses, water supply valves or water pressure.

How to resolve the error code f6

Inspect the inlet valve

The inlet valve allows water to enter the dishwasher. Check the inlet hose for damage or blockages, such as kinks or tears. Replace or clean the valve if it is damaged or clogged. Cleaning may require disassembling the valve and removing any debris or mineral deposits.

Inspect the inlet tube

Check the inlet tube that connects to the dishwasher. Any blockages in this tube can interfere with the water supply to the appliance. Carefully remove the inlet tube and check for any debris or blockages. The most common blockages are food particles, grease deposits or mineral deposits. Remove these blockages to ensure an uninterrupted water supply.

Inspect the water system

Make sure that the water flows freely from the source to the dishwasher. Check the tap connected to the dishwasher hose for blockages. Sediment or debris in the faucet aerator can obstruct the water flow. Check the general water supply system to ensure that there is sufficient water pressure. Low water pressure can interfere with the dishwasher’s operation and cause error codes such as F6 to appear.

Troubleshooting specific problems

If the dishwasher continues to display the F6 error after the above troubleshooting, further investigation may be required. Check the internal components of the dishwasher, such as the water valve assembly and the electronic control board, for any malfunctions. A professional diagnostic tool may be required to pinpoint electronic or mechanical faults.

Follow the troubleshooting steps above to find and fix the underlying issues affecting the water flow in your dishwasher. Superior Appliance Service offers fast and reliable service. Our highly trained technicians will ensure that your equipment is working at its best.
