Jenn-Air JDTSS244GP 24 in Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with 42 dBA, Third Rack, and Sensor Wash F6E1 Error Fix: Water Inlet — Not Filling

Error code F6E1 on the Jenn-Air JDTSS244GP 24 in Top Control Built-In Dishwasher with 42 dBA, Third Rack, and Sensor Wash means: Water Inlet — Not Filling. The dishwasher is not filling with water within the allotted time (typically 8-10 minutes) — check that the water supply valve under the kitchen sink is fully open; inspect the water inlet valve screen/filter for sediment, calcium buildup, or debris (the screen is inside the valve where the supply hose connects); test the inlet valve solenoid for continuity (should read 500-1,500 ohms); check the float switch in the tub — if stuck in the raised position, it signals "full" and prevents filling; minimum required water pressure is 20 PSI
