Hey everyone! Today I want to share my recent experience with the dreaded E4 error on my dishwasher. It was so frustrating! But after some trial and error, I finally found a simple solution that I’d love to share with you all!
1. What is E4 Error?
First off, the E4 error generally indicates an issue with the water level sensor, which might be caused by too much water intake or poor drainage. This error had me worried every time I opened the dishwasher, seeing that annoying E4 code pop up made my heart sink.
2. Initial Troubleshooting – Methods That Didn’t Work
When I first encountered the E4 error, I tried a few different methods:
- Check the Water Inlet Hose: I checked the inlet hose to make sure it wasn’t kinked or clogged. Everything seemed fine.
- Clean the Filter: Next, I cleaned the dishwasher filter, thinking maybe leftover food particles were the culprit. But after cleaning, the E4 error still persisted.
- Restart the Dishwasher: I even tried restarting the dishwasher, but that didn’t help either. My frustration was growing!
3. Finally Found the Solution
Just when I was about to give up, a friend suggested a simple fix: check the drain hose! So, I decided to give it one last shot.
- Check the Drain Hose: I unplugged the drain hose and found some gunk and limescale inside, which was blocking proper drainage. I rinsed it out with warm water and cleaner, and it was good as new!
- Reconnect the Drain Hose: After cleaning, I reconnected the drain hose and crossed my fingers. I turned the dishwasher on, and to my surprise, the E4 error was gone! I was over the moon!
4. Experience and Evaluation
Through this experience, I realized how crucial it is to maintain and clean your dishwasher. Regularly checking the inlet and drain hoses can effectively prevent various errors, saving me time and hassle.
Overall, while the E4 error had me feeling defeated for a bit, a simple check and clean ended up solving the problem. I hope my story helps anyone dealing with the E4 error, making your dishwashing life a little easier!
