Dishwasher does not fill with water, cycle stops shortly after start and E1 is displayed

Safety first: Disconnect the dishwasher from mains power and close the water tap before working on water connections.

• Check water supply: Ensure the kitchen water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open and that household water pressure is normal.
• Inspect inlet hose: Pull the dishwasher forward slightly, close the tap, disconnect the inlet hose, and clean the small mesh filter inside the hose and at the valve on the machine. Rinse under running water.
• Check for kinks: Make sure the inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the cabinet.
• Restart test: Reconnect the hose firmly, open the tap, restore power, and run a short program to see if filling resumes.
• Advanced check (experienced users only): With power disconnected, access the base panel and locate the water inlet valve. Inspect wiring connectors for corrosion or loose fit. If the valve coil is open-circuit (test with a multimeter), replace the valve assembly.
