What the F02 Error Means
The F02 error code generally indicates that the dishwasher is unable to take in water as expected.
This may be caused by a restriction in the water supply or a fault with the inlet valve system.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water supply turned off
The water supply tap connected to the dishwasher may be closed or partially closed.
Blocked or kinked inlet hose
The inlet hose supplying water to the dishwasher may be kinked, crushed or blocked.
Blocked inlet filter
The small mesh filter located inside the inlet hose connection may be clogged with debris or limescale.
Faulty inlet valve solenoid
