What this code means
Official wording for F90 on the Drop Door dishwasher — fault codes line may vary by model. Use the safe checks below and refer to your model manual for the exact meaning.
Symptoms you may notice
- The dishwasher display shows F90 during or after a wash cycle.
- The cycle may pause, stop early, or fail to complete while F90 is shown.
- The door may be difficult to open or close while the fault is active.
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
- Check that the door is fully closed and latched before restarting.
- Confirm the water supply tap is fully open and not kinked or restricted.
- Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the drain path is clear.
- Switch the dishwasher off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
- Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.
Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring or the control board. Do not bypass the door safety interlock. If you notice water pooling near electrical parts, a burning smell, or sparks, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.

Frequently asked questions
A power-cycle may clear a transient glitch, but a returning F90 means the cause is still present. Do not open panels to “reset” electronics.
