Kenmore Dishwasher AE Error Code
AE (E1 on some units) reports a water leak: water in the cabinet base trips the flood switch, or a low tub level speeds the pump.

About this model
Model overview
Model 587.1625 is a Kenmore dishwasher, with no size, finish or years given. Beyond type and brand we treat its details as unknown until we have seen the label.
Fill side
A dishwasher that hums but stays dry is waiting for water. The supply valve, the inlet screen and the inlet valve itself are the usual suspects, as is a float that thinks the tub is already full. A display that reads IE on some Kenmore dishwashers points to not filling.
Drain side
Standing water after the cycle is the other classic. The path runs from the sump through the pump and hose to the sink drain or disposer. The pump can jam on a broken glass chip or a fruit stone, and the hose can pinch behind the cabinet. Some units display OE for not draining, and C3 appears on others.
Heat and drying
If the dishes come out warm but wet, or the water never seems to warm up, we check the heating circuit and the thermal sensing. Rinse aid and loading style matter too, so we ask about both.
In the kitchen
Disposer connections, air gaps and drain loops determine how freely water leaves. Renters in older buildings often find a hose run that was improvised years ago. Fixing that routing is sometimes the entire repair.
Before the technician arrives
Remove the lower rack, scoop out visible standing water, clean the filter and look for obstructions you can lift out by hand. Run the disposer. Reopen the supply valve fully. If the display shows anything, note it.

Why the full model number matters
The inlet valve, pump and float for one dishwasher may not suit another from the same family, so parts are matched to the exact number. Give us 587.1625 in full, plus the serial line if you can read it.
On the day, we ask about the cycle, observe the fill and drain ourselves, and explain what we find. A written estimate follows, and any repair waits for your approval.
Frequently asked questions
Blocked filter, jammed pump, kinked hose or a disposer plug are the usual reasons. We test the drain path step by step.
We do not state its status because it is not confirmed. The label tells us more.
It is unpleasant rather than dangerous, but clean the filter and run the disposer first.
You get a diagnosis and a written estimate before any repair is carried out.
