DW60CE dishwasher - E6 fault flood switch activated.
After tipping the dishwasher on its side & it releasing its water from its tray, the fault cleared. I removed the bottom cover & inspected its internals for traces of a leak or evidence of leaking.
I could follow the calcium or detergent trail from the rear water duct connection near the top feeding sprayer arm, down the back of the dishwasher & into the tray. The lock nut on the duct where it enters through the inside S/S skin had become loose & simply needed to be tightened.

SOURCE: my f & p dishdrawer model DD603 has fault code F1:

Yes, you need to gain access to the inside bottom panel of the dishdrawer and drain/dry the water in the bottom panel. When all of the water is gone the polystyrene block will lower and turn off the flood system. You then need to find the reason the unit flooded and rectify it or the unit will just do the same thing again.

SOURCE: The flood switch has been activated on my dishwasher

Remove the bottom drawer by pressing in the tabs on either side of the drawer (bottom edge towards the front).

Dry out the compartment with towels and let air dry.

SOURCE: Dishwasher beeps constantly and gives fault code

Hello there:
here is some ideas that will help you clean off the flood switch thatis causing the error
first unplug the power going to the machine
If you by accident overloaded the top drawer and this will allow water to get into the base an trigger the flood switch. which causes the error that you get .
Take the bottom drawer cover off first then took the whole drawer out and gently manuevere it to where u can get into the bottom of the unit.
use a towel and dry up any visible water.
use few paper towels to get into and under tight spaces.
now Take a blow dryer and blow the in the base for about 10 minutes. once there is No visible signs of water any where
put it back together and it should work . ok
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards MIchael

SOURCE: flood switch fault

Turn the power off.
Open the drawer as far out as possible. get a towel and hair dryer and try to dry the base of the cabinet.

Turn power on and see if fault goes away. If not then you may have to repeat but get the drawer out from the cabinet.

Causes can be several - water leakage from the inlet or drain hoses, kink in the drain hose or broken actuator link that keeps the hoses taut when you pull in/ out the drawers.

My Heller DWH3 is displaying error code 6. What does that mean?

The Heller DWH3 appears to be a Dishwasher, so I moved category from Laundry Washing Machines.

The Heller appears to be a little known make here in North America, and the only similar name 'Hella' I know makes car spotlights. If it shares codes with Haier, it is this, the Flood Protection Device and is very common. There is a tray and sensor in the base.

E6: All four lights flashing

Haier dishwasher E6 error code indicates that the flood protection device has been activated and the water supply will need to be turned off, stopping any more water from flowing into the dishwasher and leaking out.

FAULT E6 ???

In general- flood switch sensor, water level control system/electronic control panel failure; Interrupted drain cycle emptying water.

Depending upon make and model of your dishwasher: check water pan in the base pan; clogged filter; cracked or leaking spray arm; door seal, kinked drain hose; damaged or disconnected wires at the control panel; pressure switch fault; drain pump fault.

If you choose to troubleshoot the problem, make sure you disconnect the dishwasher at the power source; whether it is a plug in the outlet or at the circuit breaker- you'll need a multimeter and various size or type nut drivers, screwdrivers, or sockets; and pliers ~ or else call in a qualified technician.

Neff dishwasher continues to pump

Firstly if you haven't already you should probably check the flood switch with a multimeter, it may move freely but the contacts inside could be fused closed. Only the flood switch activates the drain full time otherwise it is directly controlled by the board so if its not the flood switch its probably the board. If the board has shorted you will likely see evidence of burnout on it.

E6 fault unable to reset all cycle lights showing

E6 is "Flood switch activated."


Turn the water off and disconnect power to the dishwasher, then empty water from the inside. Clean drain well and check the drain hose at the back. If that does not work, then the water pressure switch is at fault. Call your Fisher & Paykel dealer or Authorized Service Center.

I just bought a dishwasher SE34E200SK. The washing program always gets stuck in program 3 and it cant move further unless one has to turn it manually. Also it doesnot empty out the waste water after...

Hello

Most faults can be referred to the fact that the Anti Flood Overflow device has activated.

Modern day dishwashers like those manufactured that have a built in safety feature protecting the dishwasher against flooding. The technical term is 'Anti Flood Device'.

In the base of the dishwasher in the plinth there is a float switch. This is your 'Anti Flood Device'. In the event of your dishwasher over filling, the plinth fills with water, the float rises and actuates the switch.

Firstly, it will send a signal to the programmer device to notify there is a fault and output a message in the form of a code to some sort of display.

Secondly, the pressure switch acts as the water level indicator for the sump of the dishwasher so when the water level rises the pressure switch will activate the drain pump.

So before you consider throwing good money at new dishwasher, try doing a bit of fault finding your self and you might save yourself a ton of money.

I have a single draw Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. I stupidly put washing up liquid in the dishwasher which resulted in a F1 problem. Water started leaking under the draw and onto my floor. I turned the...

ok , F1 means your flood switch has activated, which is underneath the drawer. now they show the F1 fault because of 2 reasons.1st there is still water underneath drawer causing switch to activate. 2nd your activator board which has the flood switch attached is faulty reading your posting it has been about 15 days since the fault happened. the water should have dryed around switch by now. if there is power to the unit and it is still coming up with F1 fault then possibly you have damaged the activator board. please reply and tell me if you have power on or off at the present time. to fix the problem it is alittle bit involved but i can guide you thru it when you reply .good luck
