Dishwasher stops filling and shows E14; may start and stop water intake repeatedly.

Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water tap.

E14 indicates the control is not receiving correct pulses from the flow meter during filling.

• Step 1 – Access flow meter:
  • Remove the left side panel to access the water matrix/heat exchanger.
  • Locate the flow meter (small sensor with wires attached to the matrix).
• Step 2 – Visual inspection:
  • Check the flow meter connector and wiring for damage.
  • Remove the flow meter if possible and inspect the internal wheel for free movement.
• Step 3 – Cleaning:
  • Rinse the water matrix and flow meter area with warm water to remove debris.
• Step 4 – Replacement:
  • If the wheel is stuck or the reed switch is defective, replace the flow meter with the correct Siemens part.

After replacement, run a test cycle to confirm that filling proceeds normally and E14 does not reappear.
