Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher or switch off the circuit breaker and turn off the household water supply before working on water connections.
- Check household water supply: Verify the shutoff valve (usually under the sink) is fully open. Ensure other faucets have normal pressure.
- Inspect inlet hose: Pull the dishwasher out slightly and check the water supply hose for kinks or crushing. Straighten or re-route as needed.
- Clean inlet valve screen: Turn off water, disconnect the hose from the Frigidaire inlet valve at the front-left underside. Remove and rinse the small metal or plastic screen to clear sediment. Reinstall securely.
- Run a test cycle: Restore power and water, then start a quick cycle. If the i10 returns and fill is still low, the water inlet valve is likely weak and should be replaced.
If you smell burning, see leaks, or are not comfortable pulling the unit out, contact a qualified technician.
