Flow Meter
Test Procedure
This test checks the electrical connecons to the ow meter
and the ow meter itself.
1. Perform the “Service Mode Test” on page 2-3. If error
code E1 is generated, the dishwasher is detecng less
than 3 L of water aer 30 seconds of starng the test. Go
to step 2.
2. Did the water inlet valve turn on and was water heard
entering the tub?
¾ No, the valve did not turn on. Go to Water Inlet Valve
test on page 3-8.
¾ Yes, the valve turned on, but no water entered the
drum. Go to step 3.
¾ Yes, the valve turned on and water entered the drum.
Go to step 4.
3. Verify the water supply is turned on and supply line is
adequate. Check for debris in the water line or ll valve
inlet screen. Repair as necessary and retest.
4. Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
DANGER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Only authorized technicians should perform
diagnostic voltage measurements.
After performing voltage measurements,
disconnect power before servicing.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death or electrical shock.

5. Remove access panel. Remove control board cover to
access control board.
6. Unplug connector CN4 from control board.
7. With an ohmmeter, check the harness between the
Control Board (CN4) and ow meter for connuity.
¾ If there is connuity, go to step 8.
¾ If there is no connuity, replace the harness.
8. With voltmeter set to DC, connect leads to CN4, pins 2
and 4. Run a wash cycle and measure the ow meter
voltage when the inlet water valves open and water is
entering the washer. A nominal reading of approximately
1.9 VDC should be measured when water is owing
through the ow meter (voltage will vary depending on
household water pressure). No water owing = 0V.
¾ If voltage is present, the ow meter is working
properly. Go to step 9.
¾ If voltage is not present when water is entering the
washer, replace the ow meter.
9. If the preceding steps did not correct the ll problem,
replace the Control Board.
¾ Unplug dishwasher or disconnect power.
¾ Replace the Control Board.
¾ Reassemble all parts and panels.
¾ Perform the “Service Mode Test” on page 2-3 to verify
repair.
