What 560187 means on a Cove dishwasher

Error code 560187 on a Cove dishwasher corresponds to fault code FE1, which indicates that the unit is not detecting an adequate water supply at the start of a fill cycle. The dishwasher's control board monitors incoming water flow and expects to sense a minimum water level or flow within a defined time window after the inlet valve is commanded to open. When that threshold is not met, the board triggers FE1 and halts the cycle to prevent the wash pump from running dry.

The water supply system on a Cove dishwasher includes the household shutoff valve, the supply line connecting that valve to the unit, the inlet solenoid valve mounted on the dishwasher, and the wiring and control signals that operate it. A failure at any point in this chain can prevent water from entering the tub. The most straightforward cause is a closed or partially closed supply shutoff valve, which is why that is the recommended first diagnostic step.

If the supply valve is confirmed fully open and water pressure at the connection point is adequate, the diagnostic focus should shift to the inlet solenoid valve itself, the supply line for kinks or blockages, and the inlet screen filter, which can accumulate mineral deposits over time and restrict flow. Electrical issues such as a failed solenoid coil or a wiring fault between the control board and the inlet valve can also produce this error, and those possibilities should be evaluated after mechanical causes are ruled out.

Common causes of 560187

  1. 01

    Closed or partially closed supply shutoff valve

    Wiring / connection

    The household shutoff valve supplying water to the dishwasher may be fully or partially closed, preventing adequate flow. Locate the valve under the sink or behind the unit and confirm it is turned completely to the open position.

  2. 02

    Kinked or pinched supply line

    Wiring / connection

    The braided or plastic supply hose running from the shutoff valve to the dishwasher inlet can become kinked, especially after the unit is pushed back into its cabinet space. Inspect the full length of the hose for bends or pinch points.

  3. 03

    Clogged inlet screen or filter

    Wiring / connection

    A fine mesh screen at the water inlet connection on the dishwasher can accumulate sediment and mineral scale over time, restricting flow enough to trigger FE1. Remove the supply line at the inlet port and inspect or clean the screen.

  4. 04

    Failed water inlet solenoid valve

    Part replacement

    The inlet solenoid valve controls the physical opening that allows water into the tub. If the solenoid coil has failed or the valve mechanism is stuck closed, water will not enter even with full pressure available at the connection point. A failed solenoid requires valve replacement.

  5. 05

    Wiring fault between control board and inlet valve

    Wiring / connection

    A broken, corroded, or disconnected wire in the harness between the control board and the inlet solenoid valve can prevent the valve from receiving the signal to open. Inspect connector terminals and wiring continuity at the inlet valve.

Frequently asked questions about 560187

What does 560187 mean on a Cove dishwasher?
Error code 560187 corresponds to fault FE1, which means the dishwasher detected no water supply during a fill cycle. The control board did not sense adequate water entering the tub within the expected time after the inlet valve was triggered. The cycle is halted to protect internal components from running without water.
How do I fix the FE1 no water supply error on my Cove dishwasher?
Start by checking that the water supply shutoff valve is fully open and that the supply line has no kinks. Next, inspect the inlet screen at the connection point on the dishwasher for sediment blockage and clean it if needed. If those checks pass, the inlet solenoid valve or its wiring may need further testing or replacement.
Will resetting my Cove dishwasher clear the FE1 error code?
A reset may clear the code temporarily, but the error will return if the underlying cause has not been corrected. The dishwasher will attempt another fill cycle and trigger FE1 again if water flow is still insufficient. Resolve the supply issue first, then reset the unit.
Is it safe to continue using my Cove dishwasher when error 560187 is displayed?
You should not attempt to run cycles while FE1 is active. The dishwasher halts the cycle precisely to prevent the wash pump from operating without water, which can damage the pump motor. Wait until the water supply issue is resolved before resuming use.
How much does it cost to repair a Cove dishwasher showing a no water supply error?
If the fix is as simple as opening a shutoff valve or straightening a kinked hose, there is no parts cost involved. Cleaning a blocked inlet screen is also a no-cost repair for most homeowners. If the inlet solenoid valve needs replacement, parts and labor typically range from $150 to $350 depending on your location and service provider.
