What the E1 Error Means
The E1 error code indicates that the compact dishwasher is not filling with water correctly. This may be caused by the water tap being closed, a blocked supply or water pressure that is too low.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water supply turned off
The water inlet tap may be closed or only partially open.
Blocked water tap or inlet
The water tap or inlet connection may be clogged, restricting water flow to the appliance.
Low water pressure
If the water pressure in your home is too low the dishwasher may struggle to fill correctly. Electrolux recommend a water pressure of between 0.04 and 1.0 MPa for correct operation.
Kinked or blocked inlet hose
The water inlet hose may be kinked, twisted or blocked.
Faulty inlet valve
The water inlet valve inside the appliance may have failed and may need replacing.
Safe Checks You Can Try
