Hey everyone and welcome back to the Sawickipedia. Today we're looking at the
different error codes that may be thrown up by your Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Kenmore, I
think a couple of other different brands dishwasher. So there's going to be
separate videos for each error code so I've split these up into a big playlist so
you can look at your particular error code without having to look through all
the other crap about the rest of the error codes.
I'd suggest hitting the subscribe button now just so you can easily come back to
these videos whenever you need to it's going to make it a lot easier to find
them for you, but apart from that we'll get straight into it. The E14 code
relates to an issue with the reed sensor in the inlet hose. The E16 code
relates to a problem with the water inlet. So check the reed switch in the
inlet hose. The E17 code means the machine is detected too much water
inside. The E18 code means the water level is too low. First thing to do would
be to check the inlet make sure there are no kinks or anything, the other thing
to do would be to remove the pump side panel and make sure there's no obvious
faults there. OK, so just a couple of things to check before you go pulling
everything apart. Obviously check the drain filter and make sure there's
nothing blocked up in here just be careful because there may be broken
glass down in there if that's happened, and also check the other areas for any
blockages. Down the back there is the dryer fan outlet so make sure that's not
blocked up, and if everything is clear there just double check your water inlet
and outlet pipes, just be aware that water is likely to come out when you remove
these. So this is the water outlet drain pipe,
everything looks clear there just remember to fasten that clip back up,
otherwise you might make quite a mess. And the other thing to check would be the
inlet pipe, I'll just turn it off and pull that out so we can have a closer
look, and once again keep in mind water will definitely come out of this one. As
you can see there's a filter in the end of it which does also come out,
so just double-check that's all clear and everything in the pipe was clear.
There is also another filter in there which does not come out so don't try and
pull it out. But once you've established that everything's all good there
double-check that the error code is still present and if so we'll move on to the
next step. All right now before we do anything else
just make sure that the power to the dishwasher is turned off and also the
water to the dishwasher is also turned off. If you've got an inbuilt unit you
will have to remove your kick board in order to access the bottom of the
dishwasher. So in order to get the whole machine out you first need to open up
the door and just undo these two T15 screws on these little brackets here. And
then at the bottom of the machine you'll probably need to lower the actual feet
themselves. So you need a 17mm spanner and just turn the feet counter clockwise
until the unit drops down. There's also a screw here which will take a flathead
screwdriver, you also just need to turn that counter clockwise so the rear of
the unit can drop down as well. And then the other thing to do would be
to disconnect your outlet hose and also the inlet hose,
and of course disconnect the machine itself from the power depending on where
your power outlet is. So in order to remove the panel on the pump side first
check which side the hose is going into, that's going to be your pump side.
There's two clips at the back that need to just come off, and you've also got two
T15 bits hidden behind the front of the door. So
if you don't have yourself a Torx T15 bit you can pick these up at your local
hardware store or electronics hobbyist.
I'll just remove the two screws at the front,
and once they're out and the backs unclipped
you should be able to just sort of pull it out and down, and then you've got access
to your pump side.So check all these hoses are all hooked up and there's no
obvious leaking and also make sure all the wiring is connected securely and
none of the cables are frayed. So a few things you can check on the pump side
there is a sensor up here, I believe this is the inlet sensor and at the
moment it's just read reading a short circuit, so you should hopefully get the
same. There's also a little pump just in here, let's just measure than that.
We're at about 2400 or 2.4 kilo ohms, and there's also another one up here so let's
just measure that too while we're at it.
So again we're getting about 2,400 ohms on that as well. So if you do have a an
error relating to water inlet or outlets if you remove the side panel here you
can always just check all those and obviously make sure everything's firmly
connected. Alright so just to get a bit more of an idea of how this all works so
here's your water outlet which comes up here and it's pumped around this and then
out into the drain. This one here is your water inlet so this gets pumped in and
sucked down through into this reservoir, it also gets pushed up through around
into this big reservoir here. This whole side panel usually it's full of water so
you should double check to make sure that's actually happening if possible if you
can have your machine plugged in and everything while all the panels are
removed. That's about it for this video I hope it's helped you out, the only thing
