KitchenAid Dishwasher F6E6 Error Code

At a glance

• Code: F6E6, filed as “inlet water, cool water”
• Trigger: water entering the dishwasher below 65F (18C)
• Named for checking: the hot water supply connection and the temperature sensing circuit
• Owner steps: none given

Two items, two directions

The hot supply connection concerns the water as it reaches the appliance. The temperature sensing circuit concerns how the appliance reads that water. When the water is truly cool, the supply is where to look first; the sensing circuit is the other item the job aid names.

Gaps in the job aid

You will not find a tap run time, a water heater setting or any description of how the supply is plumbed in a home. KitchenAid leaves those out.

Helpful details for the technician

Because no owner steps exist for F6E6, the useful thing you can offer is how your household hot water has behaved. Take care at any hot tap, since the water can scald.

1. Write down the code and the model number.
2. Check whether hot water has been normal at other fixtures.
3. Recall whether the dishwasher was moved or reconnected lately.

Nearby inlet entries
