Water flow meter fault

Find the flow meter on the JennAir inlet side, where an internal turbine wheel counts the water volume admitted
Check the meter connector for corrosion or a loose pin that would drop the pulse signal
Confirm the meter pulses as water flows, reading the changing output on a multimeter
Inspect the turbine for hard-water scale or debris that stops it spinning freely
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On JennAir dishwashers the flow meter judges fill by counting turbine pulses, so hard-water scale packing the wheel is the leading cause of F6E4 in this area — a stalled turbine under-counts and the control flags a fill fault. An inline softener or filter noticeably extends meter life where water is hard.
