Dishwasher does not fill or fills very slowly; E18 is displayed.

Safety: Close the water tap and disconnect power before removing hoses.

Steps:

• Verify tap is open: Ensure the supply valve is fully open.
• Check hose routing: Straighten any kinks or sharp bends in the inlet hose.
• Clean inlet filter: Remove the hose from the tap and clean the mesh filter inside the hose connection.
• Test water flow: Run water from the tap into a bucket to confirm adequate flow.
• Inspect AquaStop valve: If water supply is good but the dishwasher still shows E18, the AquaStop/inlet valve may be defective and require replacement.
