Possible Causes

Low water pressure, Blocked inlet filter, Partially closed water tap, Faulty inlet valve coil

Safety first: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.

Verify water supply: Confirm the water tap is fully open and household pressure is adequate.
Clean inlet filter: Remove the inlet hose from the tap and clean the mesh filter. Also check the filter at the valve end if present.
Check hose routing: Ensure the hose is not kinked or crushed.

If E1 persists, the water inlet valve may be weak or failing and should be replaced.
