Common Fixes

E-1/E-2 (water): Check water supply pressure and shutoff valve. Clean inlet valve screen. Test solenoid coil (typically 200-400Ω).

E-3/E-4 (temperature): Jackson dishwashers require 140°F minimum incoming water. Check booster heater element and thermostat. High-temp final rinse units need sanitizing temperature reached within the rinse cycle.

E-5 (wash pump): Check for foreign objects in the pump sump. Verify pump motor amperage. Common failure point: worn pump seal allows water into motor.

E-7 (door): Verify door closes fully and latches. Check door interlock switch alignment — a misaligned switch causes E-7 on every cycle.
