How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and turn off water before accessing the inlet system.

Step-by-step checks:

Check inlet filter: Clean the inlet valve screen to ensure proper water flow.
Observe fill behavior: Start a cycle and watch the fill. If the unit fills, drains, and refills repeatedly, the flow meter may not be registering correctly.
Access flow meter: On many models, the flow meter is integrated with the inlet assembly or side water channel. Inspect for kinks or blockages in the connected hoses.
Wiring inspection: Ensure the flow meter connector is secure and free of corrosion.
Replacement: If cleaning and wiring checks do not resolve E14, the flow meter or inlet assembly typically needs replacement.

Warning: Ensure all hose clamps are secure after service to prevent leaks.

Dishwasher displays E14; may fill and drain repeatedly without progressing through the cycle.
