Possible Causes
Partially closed water tap, Blocked inlet filter, Kinked inlet hose, Weak or failing inlet valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water before disconnecting hoses.
- Fully open tap: Confirm the dishwasher’s supply tap is fully open and not restricted by a self-piercing valve.
- Clean inlet filters: Remove the inlet hose and clean the mesh filters at both ends thoroughly.
- Check hose routing: Ensure the inlet hose is not kinked behind the cabinet or crushed by the dishwasher feet.
- Test inlet valve: If water flow remains weak, the inlet valve may be partially blocked or failing. Replace the valve with a compatible Iberna part.
After repair, run a test cycle to confirm normal fill time and that E18 no longer appears.
