Thermador Dishwasher E16 / E17 Error Code

Thermador documents E16 and E17 together as an issue with water flowing into the dishwasher or the filling system.

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.
