Danby Dishwasher Error Codes — Complete List
Danby's compact and countertop dishwashers report faults with E-codes — E1 for restricted water intake, E3 for a heating fault, E4 for an overflow. The verified guides below rank the safe supply checks first and route the heating and overflow codes, which sit on the heater circuit and the anti-flood system, to a technician.
- E1 Your Danby dishwasher isn't getting water in fast enough — E1 means restricted intake or low pressure, usually a tap, hose, or inlet-screen issue.
- E3 Your Danby dishwasher isn't heating the water — E3 is the heating-element fault, and because it sits on the heater circuit it's a technician repair after a single reset.
- E4 Your Danby dishwasher sensed an overflow — E4 is the anti-flood trip, so shut off the water and dry the base tray before restarting.

Danby makes countertop, slimline, and built-in dishwashers, and code details can shift between them. If your display shows something outside this list, your model's manual — found by the number on the door or base — is the authority.
