What to check, in order
- Open the water shutoff fully
The shutoff valve that feeds the dishwasher must be completely open.
- Check the supply line
Look for a pinched or kinked water supply line, and check its connection to the water valve is secure.
- Reset it
Press Cancel, or turn the power off at the breaker for 5 minutes. Then start a cycle again.
When to call an engineer
If a reset doesn't clear it, Frigidaire says to contact its Customer Care Center.
Good to know
- Some Frigidaire dishwashers show E10 for the same fault. Frigidaire's 2023 use & care guide gives it the same meaning.
Parts people end up buying
Only if the checks above point to a part. Match it to your model number first: it's on a label on the edge of the door or the side of the tub.
