Question:
What are the water supply requirements for
my dishwasher and how to troubleshoot if it's not filling with water?
Answer:
For your dishwasher to work properly, it needs
certain things:
Hot water coming in at 120 - 149 degrees Fahrenheit.
A special kind of pipe called a stainless steel
supply line.
Water pressure between 20 and 120 pounds per
square inch (psi).
A 90-degree bend in the water line called an
elbow.
The elbow has different ends: 1/2 inch NPT
on one side and 3/8 inch compression fitting on the other side.
If your dishwasher isn't getting filled with
water (Error 4C/60), try these steps:
Check the water supply valve - It shouldn't
be turned off.
Look at the hose - Make sure there aren't any
bends or twists in it.
Check the filter and water valve - They shouldn't
be blocked.
Remember, always check the water connections
for leaks before using your dishwasher for the first time!
