What the iF0 Error Means
The iF0 error code indicates a fault with the water level system. This may be caused by an overfill condition, a faulty sensor, excess foam or a problem with the inlet valve allowing too much water into the appliance.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty water inlet valve
The inlet valve may be stuck open, allowing too much water to enter the appliance.
Faulty water level sensor
The sensor that monitors the water level may have failed and is sending incorrect readings.
Excess foam or suds
Using too much detergent or the wrong type can cause excess foam which may trigger this error.
Blocked filter or sump
A blocked filter can cause water to back up and affect water level readings.
Appliance not earthed correctly
The iF0 error can sometimes be triggered if the dishwasher is not connected to a properly earthed socket.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the water level sensor or control module may be loose or damaged.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains. Check the filter and sump for signs of foam or debris, clean if necessary, then reconnect and restart.
Check the earthing
Make sure the dishwasher is plugged into a properly earthed socket. Earthed sockets can be identified by the metal pins at the top and bottom of the socket.
Clean the filter and sump
Remove and clean the filter thoroughly and clear any foam or suds from the sump area before restarting.
Check the detergent
Make sure you are using the correct type and amount of dishwasher detergent.
