Washer displays E11 and does not fill correctly; may stop early in cycle

Safety first: Unplug the washer and close water taps before working on the inlet system.

Steps to check and address E11:

• Clean inlet filters and hoses: As with E02, ensure good water flow and clean filters to avoid starving the flow meter.
• Inspect the flow meter: On many Siemens models, the flow meter is integrated with or attached to the inlet valve. Remove the top cover, locate the valve, and check the small sensor and wiring.
• Check wiring: Ensure the flow meter connector is fully seated and wires are not damaged.
• Replace flow meter if faulty: If water flow is good but E11 persists, replace the inlet valve/flow meter assembly with a Siemens-compatible part.

When to call a technician: If a new flow meter does not resolve the issue, the control board may be at fault and requires professional diagnosis.
