Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Code i10: Meaning and Fix

Reading the dishwasher display
A dishwasher reports its fault in the display window, or by blinking a cycle light a set number of times with a pause between groups. Count the blinks and pauses before opening the door. Frigidaire models show E, F or i codes depending on the appliance.
Frigidaire is an Electrolux brand and shares platforms with the Electrolux line. Washers and dryers use E codes, ranges use F codes, dishwashers use i codes, and refrigerators show SY codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as FGID2466QF, FFBD2412SW and FFRE4120SW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the i10 code mean on a Frigidaire dishwasher?
The dishwasher did not see enough water entering the tub in the expected time.
Can I fix the i10 code myself?
Often yes. The most likely repair is the water inlet valve, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.
How do I clear the i10 code?
Switch off the dishwasher breaker or hold Cancel/Drain, wait a few minutes and run a short rinse. If i10 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: supply valve under the sink closed.
