Possible Causes

Faulty AquaStop inlet hose, Internal leak detected in AquaStop housing, Defective inlet valve coil, Wiring fault to inlet assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap.

  • Inspect AquaStop hose: If your Hansa dishwasher uses an AquaStop safety hose, check the external housing near the tap for signs of leakage or swelling. Replace the entire hose if damaged.
  • Check hose routing: Ensure the inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the cabinet.
  • Test inlet valve (experienced users): Access the inlet valve at the base or side of the machine. Verify that the electrical connector is secure. Measure coil resistance; an open circuit indicates a failed valve.

If E16 persists after hose and valve checks, the AquaStop system or control board may require replacement by a technician.
