Sequential Factory Diagnostic Tree

Perform each diagnostic step in order. Disconnect electrical power and turn off utility shutoffs before inspecting wiring or internal mechanical assemblies.

Step 1: Physical & Electrical InspectionMultimeter & Visual

Action: Verify home hot water supply valve under kitchen sink is fully opened and supply line is not kinked.

Bench Test: Disconnect supply line into a bucket and verify minimum 20 PSI dynamic pressure.

Expected Standard: Steady, forceful water stream of at least 1.5 to 2.0 gallons per minute.

If Failed / Out of Spec:

Clear plumbing shutoff valve restriction or replace kinked stainless hose.

If Passed:

Proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Physical & Electrical InspectionMultimeter & Visual

Action: Remove lower kickplate and unscrew brass water connection fitting from water inlet valve.

Bench Test: Inspect the fine cone filter screen seated inside the inlet valve port.

Expected Standard: Screen mesh clear of calcium scale, sand, or pipe sediment.

If Failed / Out of Spec:

Clean or replace water inlet valve assembly (5304517886).

If Passed:

Proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Physical & Electrical InspectionMultimeter & Visual

Action: Test electrical resistance across the water inlet valve solenoid coil.

Bench Test: Disconnect wire harness and measure resistance across spade terminals with multimeter.

Expected Standard: Normal coil resistance is 1,200 to 1,500 ohms (1.2k–1.5k Ω).

If Failed / Out of Spec:

Open or shorted solenoid coil. Replace water inlet valve (5304517886).

If Passed:

Proceed to Step 4.

Step 4: Physical & Electrical InspectionMultimeter & Visual

Action: Inspect the electronic pressure transducer sensor mounted in the bottom sump basin.

Bench Test: Remove pressure sensor and inspect the diaphragm port for detergent sludge or debris.

Expected Standard: Sensor diaphragm clean, unobstructed by grease.

If Failed / Out of Spec:

Clean diaphragm or replace pressure transducer (5304504077).

If Passed:

Replace main electronic control board (5304512731).

Frequently Asked Questions: Frigidaire i10

What causes Frigidaire dishwasher error code i10?

The electronic pressure sensor detects that the water level in the sump basin failed to reach minimum operating threshold within the allotted fill period.

Can I reset the i10 code by unplugging the dishwasher?

While disconnecting power for 5 minutes may temporarily clear the display control memory, the i10 code will reoccur once the microcontroller detects the mechanical or electrical fault again.
