I had high hopes for Brada dishwashers, but my experience has been disappointing. The dishwasher frequently encounters drainage problems and sometimes doesn’t clean dishes effectively. Service calls have been necessary, but the technicians’ solutions are often temporary, leading to repeated problems.
E01 or E1: Water Intake Problem
The dishwasher cannot intake water correctly or has an issue with water pressure.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Water Supply:
Ensure the water supply valve is open and there’s no kinking or blocking of the inlet hose.
Inlet Valve:
The water inlet valve might be faulty. Consider inspecting or replacing it if required.
Float Sensor:
This sensor monitors the water level in the machine. If it’s malfunctioning, the dishwasher might not fill properly.
E15: Water Drain Problem
The dishwasher cannot drain water correctly.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Clogged Filter:
Ensure the filter isn’t clogged with food particles or debris.
Drain Pump:
The pump might be malfunctioning or blocked. Check for any visible obstructions.
Drain Hose:
Ensure the drain hose isn’t kinked or blocked.
E22: Door Latch Issue
The dishwasher door isn’t latched correctly, preventing the cycle from starting.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Misaligned Door:
The door might not be aligned properly with the latch. Adjust as necessary.
Faulty Door Latch:
The door latch mechanism might be broken or worn out. It might need replacement.
Object Obstruction:
Ensure no utensils or dishes are obstructing the door from closing fully.
E25: Heating Element Fault
The dishwasher is unable to maintain or achieve the required temperature during washing.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Heating Element:
The heating element may be faulty or burned out. Inspect the element for visible damage and test for continuity with a multimeter if needed.
Thermostat Problems:
The thermostat, which monitors and controls the water temperature, might be malfunctioning.
Wiring Issue:
Check for any signs of burnt or damaged wires leading to the heating element or thermostat.
E30: Overflow Detected
The dishwasher has detected a potential overflow or excessive water level.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Faulty Float Switch:
This switch detects the dishwasher’s water level. If it’s defective, it might incorrectly signal an overflow.
Blocked Drain:
Ensure that there’s no obstruction in the dishwasher’s drainage system, causing water to back up.
Malfunctioning Inlet Valve:
If the inlet valve doesn’t close properly, it could allow too much water into the dishwasher.
E40: Software or Control Board Issue
The dishwasher’s control system has encountered an error or malfunction.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Control Board Glitch:
Sometimes, electronic devices can experience glitches. Try unplugging the dishwasher for a few minutes and then plugging it back in to reset the system.
Damaged Control Board:
Electrical surges or other factors might damage the control board. If other solutions don’t work, it might need replacement.
Faulty Wiring:
Ensure that all wire connections to and from the control board are secure and not damaged.
E45: Turbidity Sensor Fault
The dishwasher is having trouble determining the cleanliness of the water, which could affect the washing cycle.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Dirty Sensor:
The turbidity sensor might be obscured by food particles or grime. Clean it carefully with a soft cloth.
Sensor Malfunction:
The turbidity sensor itself may be faulty and may need replacement.
Wiring Issue:
Check if the connections to the turbidity sensor are intact and there’s no visible damage.
E50: Motor Fault
The dishwasher’s motor is not operating as it should.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Worn-out Motor:
Continuous use over many years can lead to the motor wearing out. It might need a replacement.
Faulty Capacitor:
The motor’s start capacitor might be failing, preventing the motor from starting properly.
Blocked Pump:
The pump might be jammed by debris or food particles. Check and clear any obstructions.
E55: Detergent Dispenser Issue
The dishwasher is unable to release detergent properly during the washing cycle.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Stuck Dispenser Lid:
The lid of the detergent dispenser might be jammed or broken. Ensure it opens freely.
Failed Dispenser Solenoid:
The solenoid that triggers the dispenser might be faulty, preventing the dispenser from releasing detergent.
Clogged Dispenser:
Old detergent or residue might be blocking the dispenser. Clean it thoroughly.
E60: Door Seal Leak
The dishwasher detects moisture or a leak near the door.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Worn Door Seal:
The gasket around the dishwasher door might be deteriorating, leading to minor leaks. Inspect and replace if necessary.
Improper Door Alignment:
The dishwasher door might not be aligning properly with the body of the machine. Ensure the door closes and seals evenly.
Spillage:
If detergent or rinse aid is overfilled or spilled, it can lead to excessive foam which might seep out. Ensure correct detergent dosage.
E65: Rinse Aid Dispenser Problem
Issues detected with the rinse aid dispenser.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Clogged Dispenser:
The rinse aid dispenser may be clogged or blocked. Clean it out and ensure it’s dispensing properly.
Dispenser Mechanism Failure:
The mechanism or solenoid responsible for dispensing the rinse aid may be malfunctioning. Consider replacement if necessary.
Incorrect Rinse Aid Setting:
Adjust the rinse aid setting according to the hardness of your water and the recommended level for your detergent.
E70: Circulation Pump Issue
The circulation pump is not operating optimally, leading to reduced washing efficiency.
Possible Causes & Solutions:
Pump Blockage:
Debris or foreign objects might be obstructing the circulation pump. Inspect and clear any blockages.
Faulty Pump Motor:
The motor of the circulation pump may be malfunctioning or worn out. Replacement might be necessary.
Damaged Pump Impeller:
The impeller, which helps circulate water, might be damaged or obstructed. Inspect for visible signs of wear or breakage.
