Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code i10
Water fill timeout
Common Causes
- 1Under-sink shutoff not opened all the way
- 2Supply line pinched behind the cabinet
- 3Scale-blocked inlet strainer
- 4Fill solenoid not opening on command
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
The machine posts i10 when it does not sense a full tub before its fill timer runs out, so the job is to find whatever is starving the incoming water rather than to assume the valve is dead
- 2
Reach under the sink and confirm the dishwasher shutoff is cranked fully open — a valve nudged closed during a disposal repair is the single most common trigger
- 3
Follow the braided supply line where it turns into the cabinet base and free any kink, since a crushed line drops the flow below what the fill needs
- 4
Close the water, unthread the line at the valve, and pick the scale out of the little inlet strainer screen; that mesh silts up in hard-water homes and throttles the fill to a trickle
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Prime the line by running the kitchen tap hot right before you start, so the machine is not waiting on a slug of cold standing water. If i10 sticks around with the shutoff wide open and the strainer clean, the fill solenoid itself has quit opening and the inlet valve is the part.
You Might Also Notice

- •Cycle lights up then quits almost at once
- •Only a shallow puddle of water in the bottom
