| Code | Brand | What it means | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| A5 | Ariston | Means the machine has overfilled with water or the correct water level cannot be detected. It is usually caused by a faulty pressure switch, a blocked pressure chamber or hose, or a malfunctioning drain pump. | High |
| F13 | Ariston | Means the unit cannot detect or manage water intake, signalled by lights one, three, and four flashing. It is usually caused by a faulty water fill valve, a faulty flow sensor, or a main circuit board fault. | Medium |
| F6 | Ariston | Means the machine is not detecting water entering the unit within the expected time. It is usually caused by a water supply failure, a fill timeout, or a blocked filter. | Medium |
| H20 | Ariston | Means the machine is not filling with enough water within the allotted time. It is usually caused by a closed water tap, a kinked inlet hose, or a clogged inlet filter. | Medium |
| F6 | Hotpoint | Means a water fill timeout, where the machine cannot detect that it is filling within the required time. It is usually caused by a closed tap, a kinked hose, a blocked filter, or a faulty water inlet valve. | Medium |

| A10 | Indesit | Means a fill fault, with a short or open circuit on the water fill valve triac. It is usually caused by a failed fill valve, faulty heating circuit components, or an inadequate water supply. | Medium |
| E1 | Indesit | Means a water intake failure or a water leak, where the machine cannot fill properly or has detected water in the base. It is usually caused by a closed water tap, a kinked supply hose, a clogged filter, or a faulty water inlet valve. | Medium |
| F6 | Indesit | Means a water fill timeout, where the machine is not detecting water entering or is taking too long to fill. It is usually caused by a closed water tap, a kinked hose, a blocked inlet filter, or a faulty water inlet valve. | Medium |

| E6 | Whirlpool | Means the unit detects no water, low water pressure, or incorrect water temperature, shown as F6E6. It is usually caused by a closed water tap, a kinked supply hose, a faulty water inlet valve, or a broken flow meter. | Medium |
| F6 | Whirlpool | Means the unit is not receiving water or cannot detect it, shown as F6E1 or E1 F6. It is usually caused by a closed water supply valve, a kinked inlet hose, a faulty inlet valve, or a faulty flow meter. | Medium |
