Flow meter fault

Cut power and find the flow meter inline with the fill path where the inlet water enters the Amana ADB tub
Clear any grit or scale from the small turbine so its paddle spins freely and reports fill volume correctly
Confirm water actually enters at a normal rate, because a starved fill makes a good meter read as failed
Inspect the meter harness back to the control for a loose connector before condemning the board
Pro Diagnostic Tip
The flow meter counts fill volume so the control knows when enough water is in, and on hard-water lines its little turbine scales up and under-reports until it posts this fault. Descale and spin the paddle free before ordering the meter, and rule out a weak fill valve that starves the count in the first place.
