Possible Causes

Loose ribbon cable between UI and main board, Faulty control panel PCB, Moisture ingress into control panel, Defective main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before removing the control panel.

  • Dry the panel: If steam has entered the control area, leave the door open and allow the panel to dry for several hours. Do not use a hairdryer directly on electronics.
  • Inspect connections: Remove the inner door panel to access the user interface board. Reseat the ribbon cable and connectors between the UI and main control board.
  • Check for corrosion: Look for signs of water damage or corrosion on the control panel PCB. If present, replacement is recommended.
  • Power reset: After reassembly, reconnect power and perform a power reset by unplugging for 5–10 minutes, then retry.

If E15 persists, either the UI board or main control module may need replacement, which is best handled by a service technician.
