What the i30 Error Means
The i30 error code indicates that the anti-flood protection system has been triggered. Water has been detected in the base of the appliance. The dishwasher will stop operating until the issue has been resolved.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water leak from a hose or connection
The inlet or drain hose may have come loose or developed a leak, allowing water to collect in the base of the appliance.
Damaged door seal
A worn or damaged door seal may be allowing water to escape during a wash cycle.
Blocked or kinked drain hose
If the drain hose is blocked or incorrectly positioned, water may back up and overflow into the base.
Excess foam
Using too much detergent or the wrong type of detergent can cause excess foam which may trigger the flood protection sensor.
Blocked spray arm
A blocked or obstructed spray arm may direct water incorrectly, causing it to leak onto the door seal.
Faulty pump or valve
An internal component such as the pump or inlet valve may have failed and is allowing water to leak into the base.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Turn off the water supply immediately
As a precaution, turn off the water inlet tap to the dishwasher before attempting any checks.
Check for visible leaks
Inspect the inlet and drain hoses for any signs of leaking or loose connections.
Check the door seal
Inspect the rubber door seal for signs of damage, wear or debris that may be preventing a proper seal.
Check the detergent
Make sure you are using the correct dishwasher detergent and not using too much, as excess foam can trigger this error.
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the mains for several minutes before restarting.
