What the E6 Error Code Means
The E6 error code indicates that water leakage has been detected. Like E5, this code is triggered when water is detected in the base pan of the dishwasher. The machine stops the programme to prevent further water damage. Any water in the base pan should be removed before attempting to restart the dishwasher.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Internal water leak
A leaking hose, pump seal, spray arm connection or internal water connection can allow water to accumulate in the base tray and trigger this fault.
Damaged door seal
A worn or damaged door seal can allow water to escape during the wash cycle and find its way into the base of the machine.
Loose or damaged hose connection
An internal hose that has come loose or developed a crack can allow water to drip into the base tray during operation.
Faulty pump seal
A worn pump seal can allow water to leak from the pump housing into the base of the machine.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Turn off the water supply
If water is actively leaking, turn off the water supply tap to the dishwasher immediately.
Remove water from the base pan
Any water in the base pan should be removed before attempting to restart the dishwasher. Carefully tilt the machine or use towels to absorb the water.
Check the door seal
Inspect the rubber door seal for any signs of damage, tears or debris that could be causing a leak.
Restart the dishwasher
Once the base pan has been cleared of water and any obvious causes addressed, reconnect the water supply and restart the programme to see if the fault clears.
If the error recurs, an engineer will need to identify the source of the leak.
