Gorenje Dishwasher Error Code Solutions

The control module of the Gorenie dishwasher can notify the user or the master that the appliance has one or another malfunction. How he does it? Of course, using the error codes of the Gorenje dishwasher. There are very few errors in the database, so we have a rare opportunity to describe them more or less in detail in a single publication. Let’s try to do it.

Gorenje dishwasher error codes explained

Bear in mind that depending on the model of your dishwasher fault codes and their meanings may display with letters and numbers or flashing lights.

E1: Dishwasher not filling with water

Parts that need checking when this problem occurs are the water supply and the wiring to the water valve. The water valve itself may be defective, and wiring to the pressure switch or sensor will need to be inspected

E2: Gorenje dishwasher not draining

When your dishwasher detects a drainage fault within four minutes the programme will automatically stop. There may be issues with the drain pump itself or the wiring to the drain pump.

E3: Dishwasher times out when heating

Gorenje dishwasher error code E3 indicates that no heat has been detected within an hour and the programme will stop. Checks will need to be carried out on the wiring to the heater and thermostats, as well as the water heating element and thermostats themselves.

E4: Aquastop protection circuit activated

Gorenje dishwasher E4 error shows that the leak detection switch has been on for more than two minutes causing the water inlet valve to shut off and the water to drain. The Aquastop hose will need investigating alongside the float in the base of the dishwasher. You’ll also need to check for leaks.

E6: Short circuit detected on the temperature sensor

When this code displays the water heating sensor wiring and the temperature sensor need to be looked at.

E7: Temperature sensor detected as an open circuit

If the temperature sensor detects an open circuit then the water heating sensor wiring and the temperature sensor itself needs examining.

Your Gorenje dishwasher will illuminate a number of lights simultaneously to indicate the malfunction. Depending on your model the letter E or Err will also display:

E1: First light flashing and end light solid

This relates to an Aquastop failure in appliances that have an anti-flood system. This automatically trips when leaks are detected and will need specialist attention.

E2: Second light flashing and end light solid

When the system which limits the water level has been tripped the programme will need to be interrupted and your Gorenje dishwasher reset. Switch off your dishwasher and switch back on again, then re-programme and start the wash cycle again. If the fault persists you’ll need advice from an experienced technician.

E3: First and second light flashing and end light solid

An indication of a water heating malfunction will trigger this response due to the water not heating, or the heating parameters being incorrect.

E4: Third light flashing and end light solid

This is a water temperature monitoring malfunction and may also require resetting of your appliance as detailed in E2. If your dishwasher trips continually you’ll need to call in an expert.

E5: First and third light flashing and end light solid

A water intake malfunction is a result of your appliance not being able to take in water properly. This can be due to the water connections, the water intake valve, or an obstructed filter.

E6: Second and third light flashing and end light solid

When your dishwasher won’t pump out water this indicates that the drain hose is kinked or obstructed. If this isn’t the case the problem could be with an obstructed siphon or filter.
