KitchenAid Dishwasher Stops Working A Few Minutes After Starting

If your KitchenAid dishwasher stops working, you’re not alone, it’s a pretty common issue! We recently worked on one and found the error code “Water meter problem” saved in the memory. But here’s the thing: the issue wasn’t actually with the water meter, it was the water valve.

What was happening is that the water wasn’t being properly supplied through the valve when it was filling up. The control board saw this as a water meter issue, so it shut down the whole cycle within minutes.

Once we swapped out the faulty water valve, the water filling cycle started working just fine. The error code disappeared, and the dishwasher was back to doing its job without any problems.

Upon inspecting the fan, the technician saw that the fan blade’s opening was worn out. This caused the fan blade to drop down and block the airflow, stopping air circulation. This led to an increase in the temperature in the freezer. The issue was resolved by simply replacing the fan blade. Sometimes the causes of refrigerator malfunctions can be quite unique, but our experienced technicians can always identify and fix the issue.
