Beko Dishwasher Error Code E02
The machine is not seeing any water come in. The manual treats this as a water cut-off warning: check the supply first, before suspecting a part.
Also shown as: E2
Applies to: Beko dishwashers with a display, DFN and BDFN series models
Common causes
- Water tap closed or mains supply interrupted
- Kinked inlet hose
- Blocked inlet filter or a fault in the aqua-stop hose
- Failed inlet valve or flow meter
What to check, in order
- Confirm the tap under the sink is open and that water runs elsewhere in the home.
- Straighten the inlet hose and check it is not trapped.
- Clean the small filter where the hose meets the tap or the valve.
- When the supply is restored the code clears and the programme resumes; if it does not, the valve or flow meter needs testing — a technician job.
Clear the code and test
- Fix what the checks above found first — a filter cleaned, a hose straightened, the spray arms freed. Clearing the code without fixing the cause only brings it back.
- Close the door, plug the dishwasher back in (or restore its breaker) and make sure the water tap is open.
- Run the shortest programme and stay nearby for the first minutes, watching for leaks and listening for the drain pump.
- If the programme finishes with no code, the fault is cleared. If the code returns, write down the code and when it appeared before calling a technician — it speeds up the diagnosis.
When to call a professional
Most cases are solved by the checks above. Book a technician if any of these apply:
- The code comes back after you have run the checks and a test cycle.
- You smell burning, see sparks or scorch marks, or the breaker trips.
- Water is leaking and you cannot stop it.
- The fix needs panels opened beyond what your manual describes, or a part tested with a meter, and you are not set up for that.
When you call, give the brand, the code E02, your model number (on a label on the edge of the door) and the checks you already ran. It shortens the visit.

Parts are model-specific. Find your model number first — usually on a label on the edge of the door — and match the part to that number before ordering.
