Error Code i10 on Electrolux EDSH4944AT Dishwasher | Causes & Fix

Error i10 on Electrolux : Water fill fault — machine cannot reach water level in allotted time. Follow the troubleshooting steps below to diagnose and fix this dishwasher issue. ## What Error Code i10 Means on an Electrolux EDSH4944AT Dishwasher The i10 error code on an Electrolux dishwasher indicates that the machine failed to fill with water within the expected time. The control board monitors incoming water via a flow meter or pressure sensor and triggers i10 when the target fill level is not reached in approximately 3–5 minutes. ## Symptoms - i10 on the display at the start of a cycle

cycle pauses immediately after starting
no water heard entering the machine
water supply hose connections appear fine but tub is dry ## Common Causes - closed or partially open water supply valve under the sink
kinked water supply hose
clogged or corroded inlet valve filter screen
failed water inlet valve solenoid (normal resistance: 500–1500 Ω)
faulty water level sensor or flow meter
low water pressure (minimum required: 20 psi / 1.4 bar) ## Tools You May Need - flat-head screwdriver
needle-nose pliers
multimeter
small brush for screen cleaning ## Step-by-Step Repair Guide | Step | Action | Expected Result | |------|--------|-----------------| | 1 | Turn off the dishwasher and close the water supply valve under the sink. Check that the valve is fully open before proceeding. | Water supply is isolated. | | 2 | Pull the dishwasher out slightly and check the water supply hose for kinks or crushing from the cabinet side. Straighten any kinks. | Water hose is unobstructed. | | 3 | Disconnect the supply hose from the inlet valve at the back of the machine. Remove and clean the small mesh filter screen inside the valve inlet port using a brush under running water. | Inlet screen is clear. | | 4 | Reconnect the hose, open the supply valve fully, and check the water pressure. Normal fill pressure is 20–120 psi. Very low pressure will prevent proper fill. | Water pressure is confirmed adequate. | | 5 | If the machine still will not fill, disconnect the inlet valve wiring connector and measure solenoid resistance. Normal is 500–1500 Ω. Replace the valve if the reading is OL (open circuit) or near 0 Ω (short circuit). | Inlet valve condition is confirmed. | ## Frequently Asked Questions How do I reset i10 on my Electrolux dishwasher? Press and hold the Start/Cancel button for 3 seconds to cancel the active cycle. Fix the fill fault, then restart. If the error clears on its own after fixing water supply, no further reset is needed. Can i10 appear if the hot water is turned off? Yes. Electrolux dishwashers typically use the hot water supply. If only the cold is on or water pressure is very low, fill time will exceed the limit and i10 will be triggered. What water pressure does my Electrolux dishwasher need? The minimum recommended supply pressure is 20 psi (1.4 bar) and maximum is 120 psi (8.3 bar). Pressure below 20 psi will result in slow or insufficient fill and trigger i10. Could the inlet valve filter screen cause i10? Yes. Sediment and mineral deposits gradually clog the small mesh screen inside the inlet valve. This is often the cause of i10 in dishwashers that filled correctly for years and then started failing. Clean the screen first before suspecting the valve. --- Always unplug the appliance and shut off the water supply before performing any repair.
