What the E19 Error Means
The E19 error code indicates a fault with the valve that controls the heat exchanger or regeneration system within the dishwasher. This valve manages water flow through the heat exchanger, which is used to pre-heat incoming water and improve energy efficiency. When this valve does not operate correctly the machine stops the cycle.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty heat exchanger valve
The valve controlling water flow through the heat exchanger may have failed or become stuck and is not operating as expected.
Blocked valve or heat exchanger
Limescale or debris can cause the valve or heat exchanger to become restricted, affecting its ability to open and close correctly.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection to the valve can prevent it from receiving or acting on signals from the control board.
Control board fault
In some cases the control board may not be sending the correct signal to operate the valve, triggering this error.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Run a descale cycle
If you live in a hard water area, running a dishwasher descaler may help clear any limescale that could be affecting the valve or heat exchanger.
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
