Dishwasher shows E8; water level appears too low and spray arms may not rotate properly.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Partially blocked inlet valve, Flow meter misreading, Pressure switch calibration issue, Low household water pressure

Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap before working on the inlet system.

Check water pressure: Ensure adequate pressure at the kitchen tap. Very low pressure can trigger E8.
Clean inlet filters: Remove and rinse the inlet hose filter and any internal filters in the Fagor water matrix.
Inspect flow meter and pressure switch: Clean and check these components as described in F10 and E5 entries.
Test fill: After cleaning, run a test cycle and observe the water level; it should cover the sump filter but not reach the door opening.
