What the E14 Error Means
The E14 error code indicates a fault with the water intake or fill system. The dishwasher has detected that water is not entering the appliance as expected or that there is a problem with the water protection system. The machine stops the cycle to prevent damage.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Water tap turned off
If the water supply tap beneath the sink has been turned off or is not fully open, the dishwasher cannot fill with water.
Kinked or blocked inlet hose
A bent or restricted inlet hose will prevent water from flowing into the machine at the required rate.
Blocked inlet filter
A mesh filter inside the inlet hose connection can become clogged with debris, restricting water flow.
Faulty water inlet valve
The solenoid valve that controls water entry may have failed and is not opening to allow water in.
Water pressure too low
Insufficient mains water pressure can prevent the dishwasher from filling correctly within the expected time.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the water supply tap
Ensure the tap supplying water to the dishwasher is fully open.
Inspect the inlet hose
Check that the inlet hose is not kinked or compressed. Straighten if necessary.
Clean the inlet filter
Turn off the water supply, disconnect the inlet hose and rinse the mesh filter under running water to remove any debris.
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
