Dishwasher Error Messages

Most dishwashers have a error reporting system - In the event of an issue some models with digital displays will display an error while others without a display will signal an error with certain function lights flickering/flashing and beeping.

If you go to the troubleshooting information in your manual there will usually be information pertaining to that particular error that you can investigate - As examples

  • Water Inlet error: 
    • Check that the inlet hose is not kinked or damaged. 
    • Check that there are no leaks at the hose connection to the tap or dishwasher
    • Check that the tap is open and there is water going to dishwasher
  • Drainage Error:
    • Check that the drain hose is not kinked or damaged.
    • Check and clean the filter inside the machine below the lower spray arm
    • Check that the drain where the drain hose is connected is draining properly and not blocked.
      • Sometimes dishwasher drain hoses are connected to a waste disposal system under your sink - Check and ensure that the hole where its connected is big enough and not obstructed with debris.
  • Heating Error: 
    • Confirm if there is heat/steam at the end of the cycle - if not, lodge a warranty claim if the product is under warranty or contact your local service agent.
  • Leakage Error:
    • See if you can observe a leak around the door or connected hoses - if not, lodge a warranty claim or contact your local service agent.
  • Other Errors: 
    • Lodge a warranty claim or contact your local service agent.
