The presence of a dishwasher in the kitchen is no longer a rarity. Its use greatly simplifies unpleasant troubles, saves time, water consumption, and the declared durability and reliability, suggest using such an assistant often and regularly.
Dishwashing equipment has earned widespread use both in household and household affairs, and in industrial conditions (restaurants):
Dishwashers for the home:
- Narrow, 45 cm wide. Able to accommodate 9-13 sets of dishes.
- Full-format, 60 cm wide. Hold 7-16 sets of dishes.
- Compact. Small dimensions allow you to place the dishwasher on the countertop, and hold up to 7 sets. A significant drawback is that they do not accommodate large-diameter plates.
- Industrial dishwashers.
Unlike household ones, they are equipped with substantial sizes, accommodate a variety of programs, enhanced power, with which it works under continuous and regular loads.
However, it happens that the dishwasher gives an e03 error. Modern technology signals a malfunction using the display or flashing indicators. In this case, it is enough to know the code decryption.

We decrypt the error E03 in different well-known companies
Brand of dishwasher | Problem Description | Reasons, solutions |
Bosch, Siemens, Neff | Water intake | Aquastop, pump, inlet valve, NTC sensor |
KRONA, CANDY | Ten | Check water temperature |
Bauknecht | Early completion of dishwashing | |
Samsung, Gorenje | Temperature sensor malfunction |
If we consider the E3 error as an example of a Bosch dishwasher, then the serviceability most likely occurred due to the lack of the right amount of water in the machine for a given period of time.
If the model is more advanced, then the dishwasher will wait until the filling with water is completed, and if it is more out of date, the descent will take place in 1 minute.
Actions in case of a problem:
- Inspect the Aquastop hose for a malfunction;
- Inspect the drain pump for a malfunction;
- Check valve;
- Eliminate the clogging of the filter by disconnecting it from the machine and good cleaning;
- To find out, perhaps, the pressure switch is malfunctioning.
Cause of error E3
The indicator of contamination of the fine filter stops the dishwasher, if the program has not managed to collect the required amount of water for a certain time. Then the dishwasher drains it on its own, after which the error e03 is displayed on the light panel. This means that in order to continue the uninterrupted operation of the dishwasher, the filter requires cleaning.
What to do in this situation?
- Eliminate the likelihood of lack of water in the water supply;
- Find out if the filters are dirty in front of the inlet hose and at the entrance to the machine;
- Carry out a check of the filling valve for serviceability;
- Check for correct the operation of the water level sensor in the dishwasher;
- And finally, to inspect the serviceability of the pump, since the cause of the breakdown may be in it.
When is it necessary to contact specialists?
So, often on the panel of the dishwasher, a combination of light signals appears - when the fine filter is clogged. You can try to figure it out yourself, at home. You will need to open the filter unit, disassemble, rinse and put the removed parts back. This procedure is not final, because after its completion, it is possible to see the error on the display again, then it is worth resorting to the services of a professional installer.
A modern kitchen machine is able to independently diagnose its performance, show and immediately notify its owner. Each specific case must be approached individually, with the help of a specialist, and a number of errors can be eliminated by ourselves, at home.
Having dealt with the malfunction in the form of error E03, we can conclude that such an error during normal operation is not possible to see. Its appearance occurs in test run mode and indicates problems with heating. To avoid the signal on the display of the e3 indicator, it is sufficient, if necessary, to clean the filters at least 1 time per month.
