FAQ
TL;DR: For Beko E02, 3 broken door‑harness cables are common; "E02 is not always a damaged hose"—check wiring first, then Aquastop and pressure. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064340]
Why it matters: Owners of Beko DIN28221/DIN28321 can fix E02 faster without removing the built‑in unit.
Quick Facts
- E02 = "No water [Er: 2]"; causes include inlet valve, no/low supply, wiring, control board, or flowmeter. [Elektroda, UczenEl, post #19604178]
- Door‑harness faults reported with up to 6 broken wires; inspecting here often restores operation. [Elektroda, MariuchnaWard, post #19612196]
- Another confirmed case had exactly 3 broken wires; solder and heat‑shrink fixed it. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064340]
- On a rinse program, intake lasted ~60 s before E02, then ~5 min wait, then ~30 s retry. [Elektroda, kkk1981, post #19593574]
- To view/clear error history: door open, hold PROG while powering on; codes clear on power‑off. [Elektroda, glas4, post #19123655]
What does error E02 mean on a Beko dishwasher?
E02 flags a no‑water condition. It is summarized as "No water [Er: 2]." Root causes include a bad inlet valve, closed tap, low mains pressure, wiring harness faults, control electronics faults, or a failed flowmeter. Start with simple checks, then test components.

My Beko DIN28221 fills but won’t start and shows E02—what should I check first?
Inspect the door‑to‑body wiring harness where it flexes. One repair found three broken conductors there. They spliced short sections, insulated with heat‑shrink, and restored operation. Check this harness before pulling the built‑in appliance. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064340]
How do I view and clear stored error codes on DIN28xxx models?
Use service display with the door open. 1) Turn the dishwasher off and hold PROG. 2) While holding, turn it on and wait until the display blinks and eights appear. 3) Release to view codes; power off to clear them. Errors clear on power‑off. [Elektroda, glas4, post #19123655]
How do I test the Aquastop inlet valve coil?
Disconnect power and measure resistance across the valve’s two pins. An open‑circuit reading means a failed coil and a bad valve. As one expert replied, "Obvious obviousness." [Elektroda, nares, post #19206577]
On Beko models, do I need to replace the whole Aquastop hose?
Yes in practice. The valve is crimped to the hose on some Beko units, so valve‑only swaps are impractical. Ordering the complete Aquastop hose assembly solves it cleanly. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19207260]
My dishwasher heats only the last water fill—normal?
A member reported heating only on the final fill and suggested it may be an eco behavior. Verify this in your user or service documentation for the chosen program. If wash results are fine and no heat errors show, this can be expected. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19215696]
E02 returned weeks after replacing Aquastop—what next?
Recheck the door wiring. One owner later discovered six broken wires in the door harness. Repairing them resolved intermittent errors and restored proper operation. [Elektroda, MariuchnaWard, post #19612196]
Can low water pressure or rinse‑aid/detergent settings cause E02?
Yes, as an edge case. One user linked E02 to a changed rinse‑aid dosing control while using only capsules. They also noticed low mains pressure at the time; restore settings and verify pressure. [Elektroda, puzon92, post #19487988]
Where do Beko DIN28xxx wires tend to fail?
They fail in the cable bundle that connects the door to the dishwasher body. This section bends during every open/close cycle. Inspect that harness run first for breaks. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19060742]
How do I repair a broken wire in the door harness?
Cut out the cracked section and splice in a short new piece. Solder the joints and cover them with heat‑shrink tubing. Adjust the sleeve so bending stress moves away from the hinge. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064340]
During reset I saw a 3–0 countdown and “HFL”—is that expected?
Yes. A user saw a 3‑to‑0 countdown with beeps, a full segment test, then “1” and “HFL.” After repeating the reset, the stored errors stopped displaying. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19124381]
How long does the control try to fill before E02 appears?
On the 15‑minute rinse program, one owner measured about 60 seconds of intake before E02. The unit then waited about five minutes, and tried again for about 30 seconds. That pattern suggests a flow or control‑side issue. [Elektroda, kkk1981, post #19593574]
Does E02 always indicate a water‑supply problem?
No. One confirmed fix found three broken door wires causing E02 while water still entered. Inspect the harness before hunting plumbing or replacing parts. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064340]
My display segments are damaged—can I still diagnose E02?
Yes. A member had damaged display segments yet could read E02 and continue repairs. Replacing the display was not required for diagnosis or reset. [Elektroda, 1dino, post #19064331]
