How To Fix The Westinghouse Dishwasher F5 Error Code - Meaning, Causes, & Solutions (Smooth Fix!)

How To Fix The Westinghouse Dishwasher F5 Error Code - Meaning, Causes, & Solutions (Smooth Fix!). In this video tutorial I will show how to fix the Westinghouse Dishwasher F5 error code.

An F5 error on your Westinghouse dishwasher indicates a water level fault. Your dishwasher flashes this error code when there is no water during the washing phase.

The following are some of the common causes of the F5 error code:
Faulty inlet valve
A faulty inlet valve won't regulate the water flow in your machine. If the fault blocks water, your machine won't fill up and thus will display the F5 error.

Faulty wash pump
A faulty wash pump won't run, resulting in zero pressure in the pressure sensor's pipes. If there's no pressure in these pipes, the machine thinks there's no water, thus the F5 error.

Clogged or kinked inlet hose.
Debris and foreign objects often clog the inlet hose and impede water flow into the machine.

Now, let’s look at the best solutions you can apply to fix the F5 error code.
Replace the inlet valve.
1. Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply.
2. Remove your dishwasher’s access panel. Consult your manual so you know which panel to remove.
