Kenmore Dishwasher Error Codes — Complete List

Kenmore dishwashers map to builders the same way (665 = Whirlpool, 587 = Frigidaire/Electrolux, 363 = GE, 592/401 = Samsung, 630 = Bosch). This hub covers the codes with solid public documentation: i20, i40, and PF on Frigidaire-built 587s, plus F8E4 on Whirlpool-built 665s. One honest caveat: dishwashers have a thinner trail of verifiable code references than refrigerators do, so this side ships fewer entries and none that we couldn't source.

• i20 (I 20, i 20) i20 on a Frigidaire-built Kenmore 587 dishwasher means the unit can't drain - usually a low drain-hose loop or a clog in the trap.
• i40 (I 40, i 40) i40 on a Frigidaire-built Kenmore 587 dishwasher means the filter or sump is clogged with food soil - clean the glass trap and filter and run it again.
• PF (pF, PF (power failure)) PF on a Frigidaire-built Kenmore 587 dishwasher is the power-failure reminder - the cycle was interrupted when electricity dropped.
• F8E4 (F8 E4, flood code) F8E4 is the Whirlpool-built Kenmore 665 dishwasher's flood code - the float detected water in the bottom of the machine.

If your display shows a code that isn't listed here, check your model's manual — the model number is on the tub rim or door edge — and confirm the builder before assuming the meaning.
