Dishwasher error codes

Heat pump motor circuit fault at the main control board.

Heat pump internal heater fault.

Limescale build-up in the heat pump.

Flow meter failure: Bosch says E14 indicates a flow meter failure or an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system.

Leakage protection activated: the safety switch has detected water in the base of the dishwasher.

Water inflow problem: water may not be able to enter the dishwasher or the filling system.

Water flow problem: the water level is too low, or water is not being pumped correctly.

Detergent dispenser solenoid circuit fault.

Heat pump internal heater fault. Bosch uses this same sentence for E09.

Heat pump blocked: Bosch says E21 means the dishwasher's heat pump is blocked.

Blocked filter: food particles have clogged the dishwasher filter, which needs cleaning regularly.

Drain pump problem: Bosch says E23 indicates an issue with the drain pump, which happens when the pump is blocked, clogged, or faulty.

Not draining properly: the drain filter is blocked.

Drain pump blocked, or the drain pump cover is loose or missing.

Low supply voltage: Bosch says the house power supply to the dishwasher is too low.

Control reset needed, or a possible leak: on most models 999 means the control needs to be reset, but on models with the Floor Protect with Alert feature GE says it indicates a possible leak.

Pump-out during drain has exceeded 2 minutes.

The total pump-out cycle exceeds 7 minutes.

The dishwasher will not drain.

The machine filled twice after a power failure: float switch stuck or failed, or clogged drain or sump.

The pump-out time is too short.

Water temperature is too low: the water coming into the dishwasher is below the 120°F GE requires.

Water temperature sensor circuit failure: GE says the dishwasher's water temperature sensor circuit has become inoperative.

Detergent cup blocked: something is stopping the detergent cup from opening fully.

Low water situation.

Leakage or overfilling error: the water supply exceeded the standard amount or a leak was detected. The dishwasher keeps draining to protect the floor.

Bubble error: oversudsing was detected, and the dishwasher stops to prevent leaks.

Control Lock is on: LG says CL is not a fault. The control panel is locked, so buttons cannot be pressed and cycles and options cannot be selected.

Heater error: the heater that heats the dishwasher's water is not heating it, or the water overheated above 90°C (194°F).

Water inlet error: the specified amount of water was not supplied to the tub.

Cleaning motor error: LG says LE may appear when the cleaning motor is not functioning normally.

The impeller is not spinning normally. LG says this can happen when the impeller does not spin or when dishes touch it.

Outlet error: the tub is not fully drained.

Temperature sensor error: LG says tE can appear because of a temperature sensor contact problem or a sensor failure.

Clogged filter error (Waterwall models): water is not making it through the filter. On Rotary models the same code means high temperature in the heater.

Pump operation error: the pump has failed.

High temperature water supply error: the water is too hot.

Water supply error: the dishwasher is not getting water at the pressure or temperature it needs.

Drain error: the dishwasher can't drain.

Waterwall reflector error: the WaterWall reflector (the vane that travels along the rail at the back of the tub) is unable to move. Something is blocking or holding it in place, or it was not reattached correctly.

Low water level error: there is not enough water in the dishwasher.

Button error: the control panel detects a stuck button.

Communication error: the control panel is unable to communicate with the rest of the dishwasher.

High temperature heater error: Samsung says the temperature inside the dishwasher is too hot.

Heater error: Samsung says the temperature inside the dishwasher is being detected incorrectly.

Leakage error: the dishwasher's leak sensor has detected moisture where it doesn't belong. The dishwasher turns itself on and will not turn off while it tries to drain the water away.

Over-level water error: there is more water in the dishwasher than there should be. Samsung covers it with the same drain and overflow troubleshooting as 5C.

Temperature sensor error: the temperature inside the dishwasher is being detected incorrectly.
