What the E08 Error Means
The E08 error code indicates that the dishwasher is unable to circulate water effectively during the wash cycle.
Even if the appliance fills with water, poor or no water movement will result in ineffective cleaning and may cause the cycle to stop.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Circulation pump fault
The main wash pump may be damaged, worn out or not operating correctly.
Blocked pump or spray arms
Food debris, grease or limescale may restrict water flow through the pump or spray arms.
Low water circulation
If water is not moving freely through the system, the dishwasher may detect a circulation issue.
Electrical or wiring issue
Loose or damaged wiring may prevent the circulation pump from operating.
Control board fault
In some cases, the control board may fail to activate the circulation pump correctly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Before contacting a technician, there are several checks you can safely perform.
Clean the dishwasher filters
Remove and rinse the filters at the bottom of the appliance to ensure proper water flow.
Check the spray arms
Ensure the spray arms can spin freely and are not blocked by debris.
Run a cleaning cycle
