Dishwasher shows E14 and may not fill correctly or may abort cycles; water intake seems inconsistent.

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap before removing side panels.

• Check inlet filters and hose: Ensure the inlet hose filters are clean and water pressure is adequate, as described for E01.
• Inspect side water matrix: Remove the left side panel and examine the transparent water matrix. Look for air pockets, sludge, or limescale blocking the flow paths. Flush with hot water and descaler if necessary.
• Check flow meter connection: Locate the flow meter (small device with two wires attached to the matrix). Ensure the connector is firmly seated and wires are intact.
• Bleed air: After reassembly, run a rinse program and allow the machine to fill and pump for several minutes to purge air from the system.
• Advanced test: With service data and a multimeter or oscilloscope, verify that the flow meter outputs pulses to the control board during filling. No pulses indicate a failed flow meter that must be replaced.
