The water may genuinely not have arrived — a closed supply valve, a blocked inlet screen, a failed valve — or it may have arrived and drained straight out again through a siphoning hose. Both produce the same complaint, and the second is an installation problem rather than an appliance one. ### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all. ### Which machines this one applies to EDW and IDW dishwashers. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 5 of the appliance types this site publishes — coffee machine, cooktop, dishwasher, oven and range — and publishes none at all for freezer, microwave, range hood, refrigerator and wine cooler. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door. ### What to do about it - Check the supply valve under the sink is fully open — it gets closed during other work and forgotten. - Look for water in the base at the start of a cycle: if it fills then empties, the drain hose is siphoning. - The inlet screen is cleaned before the valve is condemned. - A valve is measured under power rather than assumed from the code. ### Where this goes next The job this usually becomes is [dishwasher wash performance service](/services/dishwasher-wash-performance-service/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 363-6067](tel:+13053636067) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
