whirlpool 6 flashes

[naima]

hello,
whirlpool dishwasher dwg 406 flashing six times – fill problem?. tried a few things following your helpful forum:
– cleaned water level indicator in sump.
– changed waterstop inlet pipe for simple non waterstop type as suspect limescale build up. No change – ran some white vinegar through original – now back on.
– unplugged/replugged pcb connections on left side flow meter.

Suspect inlet valve on machine?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

sincerely

Re: whirlpool 6 flashes

If there is no water entering the machine at all, check fill valve. A test meter reading should show in the order of 3.5kOhms. Also the obvious – tap open, fill hose not trapped or kinked over, filter into valve not choked.

If there is water entering the machine, the flow meter in the water matrix is a prime suspect. You may hit lucky and find that the connections have oxidised. A good clean and a pinch of the connectors may do the trick – otherwise, you’re looking at replacing the matrix as an assembly. L/h side panel off to see what’s going on.

Power off for anything other than observation.
