# Kenmore dishwasher showing IE

IE on a Kenmore 722 series dishwasher means it is not filling.

## What IE actually means.

IE on a Kenmore 722 series dishwasher means it is not filling.

Kenmore dishwasher display

What to do when IE shows on the dishwasher

### Kind of code Water supply

Not enough water arrived, or it arrived too slowly. The supply valve under the sink and the inlet screen are checked before the fill valve itself.

### Usually leads to Fill and water valve repair

A dishwasher that will not fill, fills too little, or keeps filling, traced through the valve, the float and the supply.

### Shows up as Dishwasher Not Filling With Water

The cycle starts and hums, but little or no water comes into the tub.

### Make Kenmore

A retail brand whose dishwashers have been built by several different manufacturers.

### Source Sears PartsDirect: Kenmore 722 series dishwasher error codes (Wayback copy, Nov 2019)

Kenmore dishwashers whose model number begins 722.146, per the Sears PartsDirect list for the 722 series.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for IE on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Confirm the cut-off valve for the dishwasher is fully open.

02

Check the inlet hose for a kink.

03

Book a visit if water still does not arrive; the inlet valve screen and valve are tested next.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [fill and water valve repair](https://dishwasherrepair.center/services/fill-and-water-valve-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

IE is not an internal memory code; on this series it is the fill.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about IE.

### Can I clear IE myself?

Confirm the cut-off valve for the dishwasher is fully open. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the first thing to check when a Kenmore 722 shows IE?

Start at the shut-off under the sink, turned all the way open, and then trace the supply line for any fold that could choke it. On this series IE is about the fill, so the supply is where the search begins.

### Why does IE keep coming back on my Kenmore 722 with the valve open?

When water is available but still not arriving in the tub, the screen in the inlet valve and the valve itself are the next things tested. That step needs a visit.
