What is E16 on a Siemens Dishwashers?
Siemens dishwasher error E16 indicates a fault in the filling system or water inflow. It may also indicate that the inlet valve is not closing completely. The exact meaning and recommended procedure can vary by model and region, so confirm E16 in the appliance-specific manual using the dishwasher’s E-Nr/model number, usually found on the door edge or frame.
What is E18 on a Siemens Dishwashers?
On Siemens dishwashers, error E18 generally means that the appliance is detecting too little incoming water flow. Check the water tap, inlet hose, household water flow, and—only if the exact model manual permits it—the inlet filter. Siemens uses different meanings for similarly named codes on other appliance types, so this guidance is for dishwashers only. Exact behavior and access to filters can vary by E-Nr/model.
