Fixing Error Code E08 Now
Error codes are often a source of frustration for appliance owners who don’t always understand the underlying problem. Error code E08 indicates a problem with the dishwasher and this guide will outline quick troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue.
First, it’s important to power off the dishwasher. Depending on the make and model, this can be in the form of a physical switch, pushing the start button to turn off the dishwasher, or unplugging the appliance. Once the dishwasher is turned off, it is then important to remove the lower dish rack and bottom panel, which is where the drainage pump is located. Carefully inspect the pump for any debris or blockages in the blades, and if present clear any debris or obstruction.
If the cause for the error code is not identified in the inspection of the pump, it is then necessary to check for damaged wires or parts. First assess if any of the wires, plastic or metal parts appear to be frayed or broken, and replace any part that appears to be malfunctioning. Then inspect the pump for suction and check to make sure it is within the manufacturer’s recommended specifications.
At this point, the underlying cause for the Error Code E08 should be identified and any necessary fixes can be made. If the diagnosis is still unclear, it is recommended to contact a qualified appliance repair professional if attempting to fix it yourself is not an option.
