What to check first
Can I keep using it?
Do not keep using the appliance while this warning is active.
Do not keep running the appliance when water is visible, a leak warning is active, or water could reach wiring or controls.
- Safe next step
- Stop the cycle if safe, turn off water when appropriate, protect the floor, and avoid repeated resets until the leak source is understood.
- Stop when
- Water is near wiring, cabinetry is getting wet, the leak returns, or the source is not safely visible.
Do not keep using the appliance if the code points to voltage, wiring, control power, burning smell, smoke, or a possible miswired supply.
- Safe next step
- Use only safe owner-level power checks, then involve a qualified technician or electrician when the source points to wiring or supply voltage.
- Stop when
- Breakers trip, lights dim, the appliance smells hot, wiring may be miswired, or the warning returns after a safe reset.
Safety boundaries
Safe first
- Match the exact brand, appliance type, and displayed code first.
- Use the model manual as the final authority for access steps.
- Stop and address visible water before retrying the appliance.
- Disconnect power before any service-access step.
Do not do this
- Do not keep running the appliance while this code is active.
- Do not open drain or pump areas while the appliance is powered.
- Do not disconnect inlet hoses until the water supply is off.
- Do not bypass locks, float switches, leak sensors, or other safety systems.
Common causes include
- Water not leaving the tub through the expected drain path
- Debris restricting the owner-accessible drain pump area
- Another overfill or drainage condition that requires qualified diagnosis
Basic checks
- From a dry position, cancel the programme and inspect the floor and cabinet edge; if water is escaping or near an electrical connection, keep clear and do not touch the dishwasher, plug, or outlet.
- If the tub contains water but the surrounding area is dry, switch the dishwasher off and unplug it before following the exact-model manual's drain-pump procedure: remove the coarse and fine filters, scoop out residual water, and remove the yellow drain-pump stop.
- Turn the exposed pump wheel only after power is disconnected, remove only freely accessible debris, and treat glass or another sharp object as a cut hazard; reinstall the pump stop and both filters exactly before considering any retry.
Reset or retry steps
- The manual says any button can clear the displayed message, but clearing the display does not correct the cause; do not restart while water remains, a component is missing, or the surrounding area is damp.
- After the manual-approved drain-pump check is complete and the appliance and floor are dry, try one monitored programme only; stop immediately if F10, abnormal filling, standing water, or leakage returns.
When to call a technician
- Contact the Hisense Customer Care Center if F10 persists after the exact-model drain-pump check or if the pump stop, filters, or drain path cannot be restored correctly.
- Arrange urgent qualified help if water continues to rise or escape, reaches wiring or an outlet, or cannot be isolated safely from a dry position.
Before approving a paid visit, check warranty status and reviewquestions to ask before repair.
FAQ
What does Hisense Dishwasher code F10 usually mean?
Hisense documents F10 on dishwasher model HUI66360XCUS as an overfilling-water condition and points first to the drain pump. Model context matters: The HUI66360XCUS manual also lists F54 as overfilling water, but F54 has a different immediate isolation sequence; do not treat F10 and F54 as interchangeable displays.
Can I keep using the dishwasher with code F10?
Do not keep using the appliance until the visible issue has been checked and the relevant safety warnings have been addressed. Disconnect power from a dry position before reaching into the filter or drain-pump area; standing water can conceal sharp glass and can reach live components.
When should I call a technician for Hisense F10?
Contact the Hisense Customer Care Center if F10 persists after the exact-model drain-pump check or if the pump stop, filters, or drain path cannot be restored correctly. A qualified technician may check Drain pump, Drain-pump stop, and Water-level or overflow system against the model's service information before treating any part as failed.
