Amana ADB1700ADS Tall Tub DW 4-Blink Error Fix: Clean Light 4 Blinks — Water Fill Error

The Clean indicator light blinks 4 times, pauses, and repeats. The dishwasher is not filling with water properly, or the float switch has detected an overfill condition. Check the water supply valve under the sink — ensure it is fully open. Inspect the water inlet valve at the bottom of the dishwasher for clogs in the screen filter. Check the float switch in the front corner of the tub — lift it to verify it moves freely. If the float is stuck in the up position (from debris under it), the dishwasher will not fill. Clean any buildup around the float assembly. Test the inlet valve solenoid for continuity (should read approximately 1000 ohms).
