Quick answer

F6E4 on a Whirlpool dishwasher lists the water float switch as a potential cause. Check that the unit is level and reset the power.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

F6E4 lists the water float switch as a potential cause.

When a Whirlpool built-in dishwasher shows F6E4, the manual names the water float switch as the potential cause. It lists two things for the owner to do: level the dishwasher and cycle the power.

Is the dishwasher level?

A dishwasher that sits out of level can trip the overfill (floater) switch, and that alone can bring up the error. Check the level of the unit before anything else.

Cycle the power

Resetting the control can clear a fault, much as restarting a computer does. Cut power to the dishwasher for 30 seconds, then restore it and see whether F6E4 comes back.

  • Plugged into an outlet: unplug it, wait 30 seconds, plug it back in.
  • Hard wired: switch off the breaker that feeds the dishwasher, wait 30 seconds, switch it on again.

  • F6E3 covers excessive suds, another water-level topic.
