| F40 | Leakage on Inlet Valve Error: Leak detected around the water inlet valve. | 1. Check water inlet valve and connections for leaks (tighten/replace). 2. Check dishwasher tub and door gasket/seal for water accumulation/leakage (clean/replace gasket). 3. Ensure the flowmeter receives 5 Vdc (if not, replace the main board). 4. Check the pressure sensor. 5. If the error persists, replace the main board. | N/A | N/A |
| F41 | Heating Error: Issue with the water heating component. | 1. Check wiring/connections to heating element for damage/loose connections. 2. Inspect the heating element for visible damage (cracks, breaks). 3. Test heating element resistance with a multimeter (should be ~12 ohms). 4. Ensure the temperature sensor is accurately detecting temperature. 5. Check pressure sensor functionality. 6. Ensure the circulation pump is operating properly. 7. If the problem persists, replace the main board. | Heater assembly: 12 Ω @ 120V AC / 30 Ω @ 220V AC | 0.1-1.0 Ω or OL / ∞ Ω |
| F42 | Temperature Sensor Error: Dishwasher detected temperature outside acceptable range. | 1. Inspect wiring harness for loose connections/damage. 2. Ensure the temperature sensor is accurately measuring temperature. 3. If the problem persists, replace the main board. | NTC sensor: 10 KΩ @ 25 °C (77°F) | N/A |
| F43 | Pressure Sensor Error: Problem with the dishwasher’s pressure sensor. | 1. Check the wiring harness for loose connections/damage. 2. Ensure the pressure sensor is functioning correctly. 3. Verify control unit functionality (replace if error persists). | N/A | N/A |
| F44 | Turbidity Sensor Error: Issue with the component detecting dirt/food particles in water. | 1. Check wiring/connections to turbidity sensor for damage/loose connections. 2. Clean the dirty/residue-covered turbidity sensor. 3. Ensure the turbidity sensor is properly aligned/positioned. 4. Inspect the turbidity sensor for visible damage (replace if damaged). 5. If the problem persists, replace the main board. | N/A | N/A |
| F45 | Diverter Valve Error: Issue with the component directing water flow inside. | 1. Inspect the wiring harness for loose connections/damage. 2. Check the diverter valve for visible damage (cracks, leaks, debris) (replace if damaged). 3. Use a multimeter to check the resistance of its micro-motor. 4. If the problem persists, replace the main board. | Diverter valve: 3 KΩ @ 120V AC / 10 KΩ @ 220V AC | 0.1-1.0 Ω or OL / ∞ Ω |
| F52 | Water Level 1 Error: Problem with the dishwasher’s water level. | 1. Ensure the pressure sensor is accurately detecting the water level. 2. Check the water valve is supplying appropriate water. 3. Inspect the flowmeter for accurate water flow measurement. 4. Verify air gap mechanism functionality. 5. Ensure the drain hose is not obstructed/damaged. | N/A | N/A |
| F53 | Water Level 2 Error: Another problem with the dishwasher’s water level. | 1. Inspect the wiring harness for loose connections/damage. 2. Check the water valve is supplying appropriate water. 3. Inspect the flowmeter for accurate water flow measurement. 4. Clean filter (if applicable). 5. Ensure that the drain hose is not obstructed/damaged. 6. Ensure the drain pump is functioning correctly. | N/A | N/A |
| F54 | Float Switch Error: The float switch detects water accumulating in the dishwasher’s base. | 1. Check all hoses and connections for damage/leaks (tighten/replace). 2. Check the dishwasher’s base for water/excessive moisture (identify the leak source). 3. Check the door gasket and other seals for wear/damage/misalignment (clean/replace). 4. Clean the float switch and surrounding area. 5. Test float switch functionality (replace if not responsive). | N/A | N/A |
| F56 | Circulation Pump Error: Problem with the dishwasher’s circulation pump. | 1. Check the wiring harness for loose connections/damage. 2. Ensure that the circulation pump is functioning correctly. 3. If the problem persists, replace the main board. | Circulation pump: 61 Ω | 0.1 – 1.0 Ω or OL / infty Ω |
| CLN | Appliance Must Be Cleaned: Buildup of residue, food particles, or debris. | 1. Remove large food particles/debris from the dishwasher, filter, and spray arms. 2.
