Possible Causes

Dishwasher connected to very hot water supply, Faulty temperature sensing of inlet water, Incorrect installation to boiler or solar system, Control board misreading inlet temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the water tap and unplug the dishwasher.

  • Check water connection: Balay dishwashers are usually designed for cold or moderately warm water. If connected to a hot water line (>60°C), reconnect to a cold water supply.
  • Allow cooling: Let the machine cool down completely, then reconnect to the correct water line and try a new cycle.
  • Verify boiler settings: If connected to a central hot water system, ensure the temperature is within the range specified in the user manual.
  • Service needed: If E13 appears even with cold water connection, the inlet temperature sensor or control board may be faulty and should be checked by a technician.
