Dishwasher stops mid-cycle and displays E2; machine may have water inside and not proceed.

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply before removing panels.

• Reset the appliance: Turn the dishwasher off, wait 2–3 minutes, then restart the program. If E2 reappears, continue with checks.
• Clean filters and sump: Remove the lower basket and filter assembly. Clean all parts and check the sump for grease, food, or foreign objects that could block the pressure system.
• Inspect pressure chamber/air trap: On many Candy dishwashers, the pressure chamber is located on the side of the tub or integrated into the sump. Remove the side panel and look for a small plastic chamber with a thin hose leading to the pressure switch. If it is full of sludge or scale, carefully clean it with hot water and a soft brush.
• Check pressure hose: Ensure the thin rubber or plastic hose from the sump/air trap to the pressure switch is not kinked, split, or blocked. Blow gently through it (with the hose disconnected from the switch) to confirm it is clear.
• If the error persists: The pressure switch or wiring harness may be defective. Replacement of the pressure switch or diagnosis of the control board should be carried out by a technician.
