Frequently Asked Questions: Candy E04
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E04 mean on a Candy appliance?
Candy error code E04 indicates: Candy Brava / RapidÓ / DiVino Smart Touch Dishwasher: Bottom tray anti-flood switch activated E04; water detected in base pan, triggering continuous drain and lock-out..
What is the root cause of Candy error code E04?
The primary root cause for Candy code E04 is: On Candy dishwashers utilizing Brava high-pressure wash hydraulics, Maxi Tub basket architecture, and Smart Touch / hOn Wi-Fi telemetry: Sump O-ring seal leak, perforated tub stainless steel seam, dripping wash pump shaft seal, or leaking water jacket hose..
How do I fix or resolve Candy error code E04?
To resolve error code E04: Isolate electrical supply. Remove side panels and dry bottom pan. Run test cycle while inspecting sump joint, pump mechanical seal, and hose clamps with a torch. Press and hold Start/Reset for 5 seconds until the LED rapid flash ends, close door to initiate 60s drain cycle, then power off.
Is it safe to clear Candy error code E04 by resetting power?

However, if Candy code E04 persists, the physical component causing On Candy dishwashers utilizing Brava high-pressure wash hydraulics, Maxi Tub basket architecture, and Smart Touch / hOn Wi-Fi telemetry: Sump O-ring seal leak, perforated tub stainless steel seam, dripping wash pump shaft seal, or leaking water jacket hose. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Candy code E04 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Drain Pump Motor Stator Coils across Across pump motor spade terminals (L-N unclipped). Expected nominal reading is 160Ω–220Ω (Sync 230V) / 20Ω–45Ω (3-Phase BLDC). Tolerance: ±10% balance. Insulation resistance between coil and motor chassis must exceed 20MΩ..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Candy code E04?
Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
