  • E1 - The dishwasher is detecting a water filling problem or a siphoning condition. This can mean water is not entering the tub correctly, or water is draining out as fast as it fills in due to incorrect drain hose routing.
  • E4 - The dishwasher has detected a water supply fault or an activated float switch. The drain sequence has been initiated and the machine is prevented from operating until the condition is resolved.
  • E15 - The dishwasher's leak detection system has detected moisture in the base of the appliance. The machine has shut down as a precaution. This code indicates an actual water leak, not a sensor false alarm, and must be investigated before the machine is used again.
  • F1E1 - Water has been detected in the base (drip tray) of the dishwasher. The machine has initiated a drain sequence and locked itself out of further operation to protect the motor and electronics. This is a safety shutdown, not a soft error.
