A cause that surprises many fresh installations: the garbage disposer has a plug on its dishwasher inlet that must be knocked out, and if nobody did it, the connected drain hose leads nowhere. A kinked hose gives the same result. The dishwasher cannot empty, so it stops and shows E6103. The machine therefore stops and displays the number, even though the pump itself may be perfectly healthy.
1. Switch the dishwasher off. 2. When its drain hose goes to a disposer, check whether the knock-out plug was removed at installation; with a brand-new or recently swapped disposer, start here. 3. Turn the disposer off at its switch or breaker before reaching in. 4. If there is no disposer, follow the hose looking for a kink.
At the disposer. A plug nobody punched out is the most frequent reason a freshly installed machine never empties. We can usually tell on arrival which path to follow.
It empties the chamber, which is worthwhile, but it cannot remove a plug that is still sitting in the inlet. Keep the door closed until we arrive.
Yes. We isolate the disposer, remove the plug and test the drain. It is the first thing we check on a machine that has never emptied.
