Common Fixes

E1 (water inlet): Check supply valve is fully open. Verify supply pressure (20-80 PSI). Clean the inlet valve screen. Test solenoid coil resistance.

E3/E6 (temperature faults): The wash tank or final rinse isn’t reaching required temperature. Check booster heater element continuity. Verify incoming hot water temperature is at least 140°F.

E5 (wash pump fault): Most urgent fault — no washing occurs. Check pump impeller for blockage. Test motor windings. Verify supply voltage.

E4 (overflow): Drain is blocked or drain pump has failed. Check drain line for blockage. Test drain pump operation.
