# Dishwasher error code F5

### What F5 means on this make

The flow meter counted more than eighty pulses at a moment when the machine had the inlet valve deactivated, which means water is getting past it. This is the failure worth acting on quickly: a valve that seeps will fill a machine overnight while nobody is home, and on an integrated dishwasher the water reaches the joinery before anyone sees it.

### 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

DW20.1 platform, 3000-series. 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 8 of the appliance types this site publishes — cooktop, dishwasher, dryer, microwave, oven, range, refrigerator and washer — and publishes none at all for commercial line, freezer, microwave, oven, range, range hood and refrigerator. 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

- Turn off the service valve under the sink until the machine has been looked at.
- The inlet valve is the part; it is replaced rather than cleaned, because a valve that has started passing does not recover.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), 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) 363-1406](tel:+13053631406) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
