Fixing E1 Error or Non-stop Draining

• E1 error or continuous draining = usually a flood protection issue.

1. Unplug the dishwasher.
2. Tilt the machine backward at a 30–45° angle to drain excess water.
3. Optionally, remove the kick plate and dry the bottom tray with a towel.
4. Once dry, plug the dishwasher back in and start a new program.
   • This usually resets the float sensor and clears the error.
