Candy [E4] fault codewhat it means and how to fix it

Candy document E4 in one phrase — water leak — and their general instruction for a breakdown is to switch the appliance off, turn off the water supply, and not tamper with it. What makes this page worth reading rather than skimming is that Candy publish a warning almost nobody else does, and it directly contradicts the most popular internet advice about dishwasher leak codes. Their words: to ensure the correct operation of the overflow safety device, they recommend not moving or tilting the dishwasher during operation, and if it is necessary to tilt or move it, to ensure the washing cycle is complete and no water remains inside. That is the manufacturer saying the anti-flood device depends on the machine sitting level and undisturbed. The widely shared trick for clearing a leak code is to tip the machine onto its back or side to drain the base and drop the float. On a Candy that is not merely unwise, it is the specific action the manual tells you not to take. Candy machines may carry up to three separate protective systems, and which you have depends on the model: WATERBLOCK, a sensor in the sump that closes a valve at the tap end and blocks water even with the tap fully open; AQUASTOP, which monitors the hose itself and shows a red mark in a small window when it has triggered; and a general anti-overflow device that blocks the water flow or drains the excess.
