Why and When to Reset Dishwashers

Resetting your dishwasher helps restore its default settings and resolve minor technical issues. Common reasons to reset dishwashers include unresponsive buttons, not starting, not cleaning properly, and any error codes such as E15, E22, or E24. The Settings King blog can guide you through the steps and ensure a hassle-free experience when dealing with dishwasher issues.

Understanding Dishwasher Error Codes

E15 Error Code

The E15 error code indicates a water leakage issue within the dishwasher. To correct this issue, you must first check the dishwasher for any leaks and ensure all connections are secure. If the problem still persists, turn off the dishwasher, follow the reset steps, and restart.

E22 Error Code

An E22 error code often signifies a blocked or clogged filter. To resolve this issue, remove and clean the filter, then reinstall it in your dishwasher. If the error still appears, proceed with resetting the dishwasher using the steps provided by Settings King.

E24 Error Code

The E24 error code indicates a problem with the dishwasher’s drain system. It’s essential to verify if there’s a kink in the drain hose or blockage in the drain pump. If all components are functioning correctly but the error persists, consider resetting the dishwasher.
