What the E2 Error Code Means
The E2 error code indicates a water inlet malfunction — the dishwasher has not been able to fill with water within the expected time. This is most commonly caused by a water supply issue or a blocked inlet filter and is often straightforward to resolve.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water supply tap turned off or partially closed
The most common cause. If the tap supplying water to the dishwasher is closed or not fully open, the machine will not fill.
Kinked or blocked inlet hose
A kinked or blocked water inlet hose will prevent water from flowing into the machine.
Blocked inlet filter
A small mesh filter inside the water inlet valve connection at the back of the machine can become clogged with debris from the water supply.
Low water pressure
If household water pressure is very low, the dishwasher may not receive water at an adequate rate to fill correctly.
Faulty water inlet valve
A failed water inlet valve may not open to allow water to flow into the machine.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the water supply tap
Ensure the tap supplying the dishwasher is fully open.
Check the inlet hose
Inspect the water inlet hose at the back of the machine for any kinks or blockages. Straighten if necessary.
Clean the inlet filter
Turn off the water supply tap. Disconnect the inlet hose from the back of the machine. Inside the connection point on the machine you will find a small mesh filter — remove it carefully and rinse under running water. Refit and reconnect the hose securely.
Restart the dishwasher
After completing the above checks, switch the machine back on and restart the programme.
