Possible Causes

Partially blocked inlet filter, Faulty pressure switch calibration, Flow meter under-reading, Water supply pressure too low

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check water level: After filling, open the door. Water should typically reach just below the bottom of the door filter area. If it is much lower, E8 is likely due to low fill.
  • Clean inlet filters: Disconnect the inlet hose from the tap and dishwasher. Clean the mesh filters thoroughly.
  • Verify supply pressure: Ensure other taps in the house have good flow. If pressure is low, consult a plumber.
  • Inspect pressure switch and hose: Remove side panel, locate the pressure switch and its hose. Clean any sludge from the hose and pressure chamber. A misreading switch can signal full level too early.
  • Check flow meter: If fitted, ensure the flow meter is not partially blocked and wiring is intact.
  • Component replacement: If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the pressure switch or flow meter as indicated by testing.
