What E16 Means
Thermador documents E16 and E17 together as an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system.
Common Causes of E16
- A kinked, pinched, or damaged inlet hose
- A closed or partially closed water supply valve
- A filling-system part problem
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
Check the inlet hose for kinks or damage, and confirm the water supply is on.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- If the hose and valve are both fine, the filling system's internal parts need a technician to diagnose.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
