The most common dishwasher errors and how to fix them

Dishwashers are a huge convenience—until they stop working properly! If you’ve encountered error codes on your dishwasher’s display or it’s simply not cleaning well, we’ve got you covered. Let’s go through some of the most common dishwasher errors and what you can do to fix them.

1. E24 error. Drainage problem

The E24 error usually means your dishwasher isn’t draining properly. This could be due to a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or a malfunctioning drain pump.

Fix

Start by cleaning the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Then, check the drain hose for kinks or blockages. If neither of these resolves the issue, the pump may need to be replaced.

2. E15 error. Water leak

The E15 error signals a water leak inside the dishwasher. This could be caused by a cracked hose, a loose connection, or a faulty seal.

Fix

Check for visible leaks around the door and hoses. If you find any damage, replace the faulty parts. Be sure to turn off the water supply before inspecting!

3. Dishes not coming out clean

If your dishwasher runs, but your dishes come out dirty or covered in residue, the issue could be with water pressure, detergent, or clogged spray arms.

Fix

Clean the spray arms and ensure they’re free of debris. Also, check your water pressure and try switching to a different type of detergent to see if that improves cleaning results.

Pro tip

Run your dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar on the top rack to remove mineral buildup and improve performance.
