Is it safe to keep using it?
Depends on code severity. Low/Medium codes often allow continued use, High severity requires immediate stop.
Can error codes be reset?
Some codes clear after power cycle. Persistent codes indicate underlying issues needing repair.
When should I stop using it?
Stop immediately for water leak codes, burning smell, or any High severity error.

Meaning
Severity
Common Symptom
E1
Water fill timeout
Medium
The machine starts its program, the pump primes, but no water enters the tub. The cycle times out and halts before the wash phase begins.
View
E3
Water heating fault
Medium
Because wash water never reached the correct temperature, detergent enzymes did not activate fully. Oily film and food residue remain on glassware and plates after a full cycle.
View
E4
Anti-flood sensor triggered
High
The flood-protection system activates the drain pump to attempt to remove water from the base tray. The pump runs non-stop even when no cycle is selected and the door is open.
View
E8
Diverter valve fault
Medium
The diverter valve alternates water flow between the upper and lower spray arm circuits during a cycle. A stuck or failed valve leaves one rack completely unwashed, with dishes exiting as dirty as they entered.
View
E9
Stuck button detected
Low
A button stuck in the depressed position is the most direct physical sign of this fault. Pressing surrounding buttons may feel normal, but the affected button has no travel or rebound.
View
EC
Control or motor fault
High
The machine halts completely during a wash cycle — spray arms stop, the pump goes silent, and buttons on the control panel produce no response. The tub may contain standing water at this point.
View
ED
Door latch signal fault
Medium
The door latches with a normal click and feels firmly shut, but the control board never receives a valid latch confirmation signal. The cycle halts or refuses to initiate, and Ed flashes on the display.
View
F2
Anti-flood triggered
High
The anti-flood logic forces the drain pump on whenever the overfill sensor is active. The machine refuses to fill and begin washing because it believes the sump is already over-full.
View
F3
Thermistor sensor fault
High
The cycle fills and may begin circulation but never advances to the heated wash stage, stopping early with F3 displayed.
View
F5
Inlet valve leakage fault
High
The pump activates immediately when a cycle begins, purging water that has slowly entered the tub while the machine was idle.
View
F7
Drain fault
Medium
Opening the door after a completed cycle reveals murky water sitting above the filter, and dishes are wet with food-streaked water rather than clean rinse water. The drain cycle did not complete.
View
F9
Circulation pump fault
High
Food residue remains on dishes and cutlery exactly as loaded, indicating water never circulated through the spray arms.
View
F41
Temperature rise too slow
Medium
The machine fills and begins circulating but then stops progressing through the cycle. Water sits in the tub and the display shows F41 after the heating phase fails to register any temperature rise within 10 minutes.
View
F42
Thermistor (NTC sensor) fault
Medium
Without a valid temperature signal, the control board cannot confirm when target temperatures are reached. Cycles may run with tepid water, overshoot temperature, or abort early — resulting in poor cleaning and no sanitization.
View
F56
Wash motor error
High
The dishwasher fills with water normally but wash action never starts; the cycle halts around 15 minutes in with F56 on the display.
