Error codes are model dependent, so the same brand may have more than one listed.
| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| E15 | Ariston | Means water has leaked into the base tray and activated the anti-flood sensor, triggering the drain pump. It is usually caused by hose leaks, or debris in the sump or filter. | High |
| E4 | Ariston | Means the flood protection system has activated after detecting excessive water or a leak in the base pan, so the machine drains continuously and then stops. It is usually caused by a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose, or a faulty float switch. | Medium |
| E15 | Indesit | Means water has leaked into the base unit and tripped the safety float switch that halts operation. It is usually caused by excess foam, food debris, or a minor leak. | Medium |
| E4 | Indesit | Means a drainage or flood detection fault, where the machine cannot empty water correctly or the safety sensor has detected water in the base. It is usually caused by a blocked filter, a kinked drain hose, a failed pump, or a triggered overflow switch. | Medium |
| E15 | Whirlpool | Means a leak has accumulated in the base pan and triggered the flood sensor. It is usually caused by over-sudsing detergent, clogged filters, or a faulty drain pump. | Medium |
| E4 | Whirlpool | Means a water overflow or leak in the base pan has tripped the anti-flood float switch and shut the machine down, shown as F8E4. It is usually caused by an internal leak, a door not sealing, or a blocked filter. | High |
