How do you solve error codes on your Bauknecht dishwasher?

With error codes E1 and F4, it's possible that the water in your dishwasher isn't draining. A possible solution is to clean the filter or strainer. We explain how to do this in the following article.

If you see error code F5, the spray arm nozzle is usually blocked. To fix the problem, check the spray arm nozzle and find out what's blocking it. Check whether a tall plate in the lower rack or a glass in the upper rack is preventing the spray arm nozzle from turning.

If your Bauknecht dishwasher isn't working and displays these error codes, turn the machine off using the on/off button and then turn it back on after about a minute. Restart the cycle. If any of these error messages continue to appear, unplug the dishwasher for 1 minute and then plug it back in.

Error code F6 means that your dishwasher has a problem with the water supply. First, make sure that the water supply hose doesn't have any kinks. If the filter in the water supply hose is clogged, clean it. After cleaning, you can reset the dishwasher and turn it back on. A broken Aquastop could also be the problem. Our expert will explain more about this.

If this error code flashes and the dishwasher ends its cycle early, it may be because the drain hose is positioned too low or water is being sucked in from the drainage system. First check whether the end of the drain hose is positioned at the correct height and whether water is being sucked in from the drainage system. There may also be air in the water supply. Check for leaks or other problems in the water supply.

Is there a symbol that looks like a curved S? The dishwasher salt is likely almost empty or already empty. In this case, refilling it solves the problem. In some cases, the salt may just be clumped together. That's why you should check the salt level carefully first.

The sun with rays symbol means that there's not enough rinse aid and you should refill it. After filling, it may take a few cycles before the sun rays symbol disappears.

If this symbol appears on your Bauknecht dishwasher, it means there’s a problem with the water supply. Water isn’t entering the machine, which prevents the wash cycle from starting. The cause is often a water supply hose that isn’t connected properly. Or the faucet may be turned off. It’s also possible that the hose or the pump is clogged. If you’re using a hose with an Aquastop function, that may be what’s triggering the error code.
