Possible Causes
Low mains water pressure, Partially blocked water inlet valve, Clogged fine filter in inlet hose, Faulty flow meter in water intake system
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Switch off and unplug the appliance before removing hoses.
- Verify pressure: Open a nearby cold-water tap and confirm strong flow. If household pressure is low, run the dishwasher at a different time.
- Clean inlet filters: Remove the inlet hose from the tap and from the dishwasher (if accessible). Clean all mesh filters thoroughly.
- Check for kinks: Ensure the inlet hose is not pinched behind cabinetry.
- Test intake: Restore power and run a rinse program. If filling is still slow and F02 reappears, the inlet valve or internal flow meter may need replacement. This requires removing the side panel and accessing the water intake assembly.
