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. Okay so the E08
Code relates to water not filling above the heating element. So the first thing
to do would be to check the inlet connection and if all else fails you can
remove the front and bottom panel just to check the actual heating element
inside to make sure it's all hooked up properly.
Check 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 codes 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 kickboard in order to access the bottom of the dishwasher. So
in order to remove the front panel you need a Torx t15 bit, you can pick these
up from your local hardware store or electronics hobbyist store. So open up
the front of the dishwasher and you'll find a total of six Torx bits around the
back here, there are also a few up the front that holds the control panel on
but you don't need to remove those. So just remove these 6 Torx bits/Torx screws.
All right once they are out close the door back up, grab around the
bottom of the sides and just pull outwards. All right and now you'll have
access to these screws at the bottom here, so again they are Torx T15 bits.
Remove those and then you can just pull this out, just be careful because it is
pretty sharp.
And remove this sound-deadening material, and now you've got access underneath.
So on the E08 code it's possibly an issue with the heating element, so just double
check that everything's plugged in correctly and securely. Also check
that all the wiring looks correct. If you've got a multimeter handy you can probe
some of the pins to see what sort of resistances you're likely
to be getting. The two outer pins don't seem to be connected at all.
So the two inner pins are reading about 10 or 11
ohms, and the leftmost pin to the second pin on the right is reading
21.1, and the two leftmost pins are reading about 11. The first pini doesn't seem
to read anything between the rest of the other ones (the very first pin on the
right that is). So double-check those values otherwise you may need to
replace the heating element. You can also check this one next to it.
Which I think is just a sensor acutally - given that the wires are so thin, but let's just probe them as well.
So the two outermost pins are reading 18.8 kilo ohms, and
then nine and a half between the leftmost and the
middle, and about nine and a half again between the middle and the right rightmost pin.
So like I said if those values are different you're likely going to need to replace the
heating element which is a much bigger job that you probably need to pull the
bottom of the dishwasher off for. That's about it for this video I hope it's helped you
out the only thing I'd ask in return is for you to subscribe to this channel
which you can find a link to in the bottom corner of this video there's also
another one popping up in the top corner of your screen somewhere around now. So
