Stop the water at the supply valve as the first step. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Should I turn off the power for JennAir F8E5? Only if you cannot shut the water off. JennAir asks you to stop the water first and keep the unit powered with the door closed. ### Is JennAir F8E5 something I can clear and forget? No, a fill valve stuck open can let water in whenever it sticks. It is a replacement job, so book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: JennAir dishwasher showing F8E5 | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/jennair-f8e5/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
