Error Code: E22 Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Blocked filter.
How to Fix E22 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the dishwasher door and slide the bottom rack completely out of the tub.
- Locate the filter assembly in the bottom center of the dishwasher floor.
- The assembly usually consists of two parts: a cylindrical micro-filter and a flat coarse filter. Twist the cylindrical filter counter-clockwise to unlock it.
- Lift out the cylindrical filter and then remove the flat mesh filter plate that was underneath it.
- Thoroughly rinse both filter components under warm running water. Use a soft brush to gently remove any food particles or built-up grime.
- Clean any debris from the sump area where the filter sits.
- Reinstall the flat filter first, ensuring it sits flush, then place the cylindrical filter back and twist it clockwise until it locks securely in place.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
