Symptoms
• Dishwasher fails to start or stops mid-cycle
• No water visible inside the wash chamber
• E25 error code displays on the control panel
• Cycle times are shorter than normal
• Dishes remain dirty or unwashed after cycle completion
• Water does not spray from wash arms during operation
• Audible beeping or error alerts during startup
Possible Causes
• Kinked or blocked inlet hose preventing water flow
• Clogged water inlet valve due to sediment or mineral buildup
• Faulty water inlet valve requiring replacement
• Supply line disconnected or turned off at wall shutoff valve
• Tripped circuit breaker affecting the 120V power supply to the fill valve
• Home water pressure below 20 psi (minimum requirement for US models)
• Water supply line frozen or blocked by debris
• Defective water level sensor triggering false error signal
• Door latch not fully engaged, preventing fill cycle initiation
Safety Checks You Can Do
• Verify the water shutoff valve under your sink is fully open (turn counterclockwise)
• Check that the circuit breaker for your dishwasher is in the ON position at your home electrical panel
• Inspect both hot and cold water inlet hoses at the back of the dishwasher for kinks, cracks, or disconnections
• Run water from your kitchen sink faucet to confirm home water supply is active
• Close the dishwasher door firmly until you hear the latch click into place
• Remove the inlet hose screen filter (small mesh screen inside the water connection) and rinse under running water to clear sediment
• Check that the door gasket seal is clean and not obstructing the door latch mechanism
• Ensure the detergent dispenser door closes completely and latches properly
• Power off the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then power back on to reset the control board
• Fill a glass of water from your kitchen tap and let it sit; if water appears cloudy or discolored, wait 5 minutes for sediment to settle, indicating possible supply line issues
