    In the new dishwasher, the day after the purchase, after turning on the short program (45 degrees), everything was ok, but after turning on the program with a temperature of 65 degrees, error E4 appeared after about an hour from starting, meaning "Overflow - device leak".
    After removing the outer covers of the dishwasher, it turned out that there is water at the bottom of the housing (which raises the styrofoam float), which results in the error message E4. After carefully looking at where this water came from - it turned out that the leak was at the junction of the salt container with the dishwasher chamber, caused by insufficient tightening of the locknut.
    I suggest tightening the locknut.
    It is worth explaining that with a program with a low temperature, leakage does not occur, because there are no such differences in the expansion of different materials (sheet metal, plastic). I suspect that during tests in the factory they run the shortest program, which also has the lowest temperature - hence the release of dishwashers with an unscrewed locknut.
    I will add that to pour the water out of the dishwasher, just tilt it to the side or back.
    So, in my case, fortunately, I managed without calling the service for a brand new dishwasher.
    I hope my post helps someone.
