Quick answer: Euromaid dishwashers use the Midea E-code system. E1 means the machine did not fill in time (tap, hose, screen or inlet valve), E2 water not draining (filter, hose or drain pump), E3 water not heating (element or sensor), E4 water in the base (anti-flood float), E5 over-temperature, E6 and E7 the temperature sensor open or short, E8 the spray arm diverter, E9 a pump fault and Ed a communication fault. Clean the filter and check the tap; a code that returns names the part.

Euromaid dishwashers are built by Midea, and they share Midea’s E-code system with several other badges sold in Australia. The board checks the fill, the drain, the heater, the sensor, the float in the base and the diverter that switches between spray arms, and stops with an E-code when a check fails. On models without a display the code is shown by a combination of flashing program lights.
This guide covers the Euromaid freestanding and built-in dishwashers sold in Australia, including the EDWB, EDW, E14DWX and E60DW series. For each code you get the plain meaning, the likely cause and the part or check that clears it. Euromaid dishwashers share their parts with the other Midea-built badges, so the inlet valve, drain pump, heater and sensor are standard items.
Euromaid dishwasher error codes: quick-reference table
Codes are listed as they appear on the display. Where two generations of the platform use different codes for the same fault, both are shown. Always confirm against the manual for your exact model before ordering a part.
| Code | What it means | Most likely cause | What to do / the part |
|---|---|---|---|
 E1 | Water not filled in time | Tap off, hose kinked, inlet screen blocked, low pressure, inlet valve failed | Open the tap fully, straighten the hose, clean the screen; replace the inlet valve if it still will not fill — fit the Dishwasher Aquastop Water Inlet Hose Smeg Omega DWA Series 0331 |
| E2 | Water not drained | Blocked filter, food in the pump impeller, kinked hose, drain pump failed | Clean the filter and impeller; straighten the hose; replace the drain pump if it hums without pumping |
 E3 | Water not heated to temperature | Heating element failed, temperature sensor, heater relay | Test the element for continuity; replace the element or sensor — fit the Fisher Paykel Dishwasher Heating Element DW60CDW2, DW60CDX2, DW60CE |
| E4 | Water in the base: anti-flood float tripped | Leak from the door seal, hose connections or sump; overfill; foam | Unplug, tilt to empty the base, find and fix the leak |
| E5 | Over-temperature or sensor out of range | Sensor shorted, heater relay stuck on | Replace the temperature sensor; board if the heater runs constantly |
| E6 | Temperature sensor open circuit | Sensor failed or unplugged | Replace the temperature sensor |
| E7 | Temperature sensor short circuit | Sensor failed | Replace the temperature sensor |
| E8 | Spray arm diverter fault | Diverter jammed with debris or its motor failed | Clear the sump; replace the diverter |
| E9 | Pump fault, sometimes with noise from the pump area | Circulation pump blocked or failed | Clear glass from the sump; replace the pump if it will not run |
| Ed | Communication fault between the panel and the board | Cable, moisture, board | Power off at the wall for a minute; service if it repeats |
| Flashing lights, no display | Fault shown by light combination | See the manual for the pattern | Match the pattern to the code above |
E1, E2 and E4: fixed at the tap, the filter and the base
Three codes account for most Midea-platform dishwasher faults. E1 is the tap, the hose and the little screen where the hose meets the machine. E2 is the filter in the base of the tub and the drain pump impeller behind it, where glass and food collect. E4 is water in the base, and it will not clear until the base is dry: unplug, tilt the machine to empty it, then look for the leak at the door seal and the hose connections.
E3, E5, E6 and E7: the heater and its sensor
Cold dishes with E3 mean the water never reached temperature. The heater is a flow-through element on the circulation pump on most models, tested for continuity with the machine unplugged and replaced as an assembly when it reads open. E6 and E7 are the temperature sensor open or short, and E5 is the same sensor reading far too hot. All three sensor codes are one part.

Is it safe to fix an error code yourself?
Most of the codes above are cleared with a filter clean, a hose check or a plug-in part swap, and those are ordinary DIY jobs: unplug the machine, photograph the wiring before you unplug anything, and never bypass a door lock or a thermal cut-out. Anything involving the sealed refrigerant circuit, gas, or a mains-side repair belongs with a licensed repairer.
Frequently asked questions
How do I reset a Euromaid dishwasher error code?
Switch the machine off, turn it off at the wall for one minute, then restart the program. A code that returns as soon as the machine reaches the same step is a real fault and needs the check or part in the table.
What does E4 mean on a Euromaid dishwasher?
Water in the base has tripped the anti-flood float. Unplug, empty the base and find the leak before restarting.
What does E1 mean on a Euromaid dishwasher?
No water came in within the time limit. Open the tap, straighten the hose, clean the screen; replace the inlet valve if it still will not fill.
What does E3 mean on a Euromaid dishwasher?
The water did not heat. Test the heating element and replace it or the temperature sensor.
What is Ed on a Euromaid dishwasher?
A communication fault between the control panel and the board. Power off at the wall for a minute; if it returns it needs service.
Where is the model number on a Euromaid dishwasher?
Open the door and look at the sticker on the edge of the door or the side of the tub. The model reads like EDWB14S or E14DWX. Use it to match parts or run it through our Part Finder.
