E:04 or E4: Water leakage error
This dishwasher is equipped with MIPS, a Multiple Leak Protection System, to prevent flooding. If a leak is detected, the safety switch will trip, stopping the dishwasher and displaying an error message.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness.
- Water leak.
- Damaged water hoses.
- Faulty MIPS.
Solutions:
- Check the wire harness connector.
- Check the water inlet and drain hoses

| Temperature | Ohmic Value |
|---|---|
| 25°C/77°F | 10000 Ω |
| 50°C/122°F | 3497 Ω |
- Check the main PCB and replace it if necessary.
E:07 or E7: Washing motor pump error
The E07 error on your appliance signifies a washing motor pump error. This means the machine has detected a problem with the pump or motor responsible for circulating water during the wash cycle.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness.
- The signal from the tachometer is not detected.
- Faulty motor pump (capacitor)
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Check the wiring between the motor and the board.
- Check the capacitor.
- Check the tachometer.
| Electric part name | Ohmic value |
|---|---|
| Tachometer | 156 Ω |
- Check the motor pump.
- Check the main PCB and replace it if necessary.
E:08 or E8: Heating element error
The dishwasher is unable to heat water as programmed due to a malfunction with the heating element.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness (open circuit, leads off place, or loose).
- Faulty pressure microswitch
- Defective heating element.
- Faulty pressure level switch
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Check the wiring between the heater and the board.
- Check the heating element.
- Check the pressure switch.
- Check the main PCB and replace it if necessary.
E:09 or E9: Turbidity sensor error
The dishwasher is unable to determine how clean the dishes are. This may be due to a problem with the water clarity sensor, also known as the turbidity sensor.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness (open circuit, leads off place, or loose).
- The presence of food residues on the water turbidity sensor prevents it from reading the water quality.
- Faulty turbidity sensor
Solutions:
- Check the wiring between T.S. and the board.
- Clean the turbidity sensor.
- Replace the turbidity sensor if necessary.
E:10 or E10: Communication between the main PCB and the user control error
Communication failure between the main PCB and the user interface display, buttons, and controls.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness (open circuit, leads off place, or loose).
- Faulty user interface
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Check the wiring between the main PCB and U.I.
- Check the user U.I. and replace it if necessary.
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
E:14 or E14: Heating chain error
This error indicates a problem with the heating element or its associated circuitry, preventing the dishwasher from heating water properly.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness (open circuit, leads off place, or loose).
- Faulty pressure safety microswitch
- Faulty heater assembly.
- Faulty heater relay.
- Faulty main PCB
Solutions:
- Check the wiring harness connector.
- If the E14 and E8 error codes appear, check the pressure safety microswitch.
- If the E14 and E17 error codes appear, check the heater relay or NTC probe.
- Check the heater assembly.
- Check the main PCB. Replace it if necessary.
E:15 or E15: EEPROM error
EEPROM was not detected.
Solutions:
- Replace the main PCB.
E:16 or E16: Pressure safety microswitch error
The dishwasher’s pressure safety microswitch, which is responsible for monitoring water pressure and ensuring safe operation, is not opening as expected. This indicates a potential issue with water pressure or the microswitch itself.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness (close circuit)
- Faulty pressure microswitch
Solutions:
- Check the wiring harness.
- Replace the microswitch.
E:17 or E17: Heater element relay error
It indicates a problem with the electrical component that controls power to the dishwasher’s heating element.
Causes:
- Safety microswitch that flickers.
- The temperature sensor is out of order.
- The board relay is stuck in an open position.
- This is due to a software issue that, in the first cycle, does not correctly manage the power supply of the board, blocking the machine cycle and showing error 17 on the display.
Solutions:
- Wait for at least 10 minutes.
- If the defect persists or recurs, replace the main PCB.
E:18 or E18: Water Level Switch Error
The dishwasher detected an incorrect water level during the cycle. Check the water inlet hose for kinks or blockages.
Causes:
- Defective water inlet valve.
- Clogged air trap chamber
- Damaged pressure switch hose.
- Faulty pressure level switch
Solutions:
- Check the solenoid valve.
- Clean the air trap chamber.
- Find the air leakage in the pressure switch hose.
- Replace the pressure level switch.
E:21 or E21: Water inlet valve error
The valve may be stuck closed or stuck open, preventing the dishwasher from filling with water.
Causes:
- Damaged water inlet valve.
- Faulty flow meter sensor
Solutions:
- Check the reed switch.
- Replace the water inlet valve.
E:22 or E22: Power supply frequency error
Solutions:
- Check the power cord.
- Replace the main PCB.
E:23 or E23: Flow Diverter error
This error indicates a problem with the flow diverter valve, which is responsible for directing water to the appropriate spray arms during different washing cycles.
Causes:
- Faulty wire harness connector
- Faulty washing actuator (flow diverter)
Solutions:
- Check the harness between the F.D. and the main PCB.
- Replace actuator.
