KitchenAid Dishwasher F6E2 Error Code: Fill Valve Electrical

An electrical entry under inlet water

KitchenAid files F6E2 with its inlet-water codes, but it is not a statement that the house supply has run dry. What it reports is a fault in the circuit that runs the fill valve.

What the list contains

• Loose wiring contact at the fill valve
• An open solenoid on that valve (a coil that, when energised by the control, opens the valve)
• An open fuse located on the control
• The circuit on the control that drives the fill valve

Each of the four is electrical. The listing gives no ranking and does not say which turns up most.

Comparing it with other inlet codes

KitchenAid spreads fill problems over several entries. F6E1 in the service table covers the mechanical angle (no supply, captured wash water, a drain loop, or a fill valve or line issue), while F6E2 covers the electrical angle. Elsewhere, owner-help pages carry other fill entries in different wording, each having its own steps.

Owner action

F6E2 comes with no owner procedure. Since it concerns electrical parts, experimenting is out and arranging service is the sensible move. Wiring work on a dishwasher starts with disconnecting power and is left to a technician.

More codes to read

• F6E1: mechanical inlet reading; its other listing is a control error cleared by a 30-second power cycle
• F8E2: the owner-help wording “Fill Valve Electric Error,” which also checks the drip tray
• F8E5: a fill valve stuck open, with shut-off instructions
