FYI, the water valve and case break didn't fix the problem. After doing some reading I found that on this model it has a temperature sensor in the wash motor/ heater assy. It seems it measures the temperature rise as the water passes through the assy for an increase in temperature in 3 minutes. So a weak heater could not allow the temperature to increase at the rate expected, cause it to through this error. Evidently it thinks the water is coming in too fast. Yes, it's a crazy way to measure water flow. But, replaced the assy and error finally stopped coming back.
