Fagor Dishwasher Error F3

What is the problem with error code F3 that could be affecting your Fagor dishwasher?

Is your Fagor dishwasher displaying the F3 error code and you don't know what to do? Well, you don't have to worry, in this article we'll explain what this error could mean, what its possible causes are, and how you could fix it quickly, easily, and without much inconvenience.

The F3 error code in Fagor dishwashers indicates that there is a problem with the water supply reaching the dishwasher. This means that your appliance is not receiving enough water to operate or that the water pressure is too low. This can affect the dishwasher's performance and efficiency, as well as the cleanliness of your dishes and kitchen utensils.

To solve this problem, the first thing you should do is identify its cause. Below is a list of the possible causes of the F3 error code:

• The water tap or faucet is closed or blocked: Check that the water tap supplying water to the dishwasher is open. If it's only partially open, try opening it fully to increase the water flow pressure.
• The water pressure is too low: Ensure that the water pressure in your home is sufficient for the dishwasher to function properly. To do this, open other faucets and check if the water flow is normal.
• The water inlet hose is bent or crushed: It's possible that the hose connecting the water tap to the dishwasher is bent, crushed, or damaged. It's also possible that the hose has some kind of leak.
• The water inlet filter is dirty or blocked by limescale or calcium deposits: The water coming into your home may not be very clean, which can cause the filter to clog if it hasn't been properly maintained.
• The water inlet valve is defective or malfunctioning: There's a valve that controls and regulates the water flow to the dishwasher. If the valve isn't functioning properly, the F3 error code may appear on your dishwasher.

All of these causes can lead to the F3 error code appearing on your Fagor dishwasher's display. But let's see what possible solutions you can apply so you can continue using your dishwasher normally.

How to fix the F3 error code on your Fagor dishwasher?

Once you have identified the cause of the F3 error code affecting your dishwasher, you can proceed to apply the following solutions:

1. Turn off and disconnect the dishwasher to reset its sensors: This is a simple but effective solution for many problems that occur in dishwashers. Simply turn off the appliance from the power button or the general switch and then disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Now wait for a few minutes and reconnect and turn it on again to verify that the F3 error code has disappeared. This procedure resets the sensors and can clear any occasional error that may have occurred due to a power supply failure.
2. Open the water faucet fully to ensure the supply to your dishwasher: Make sure the faucet or water valve that feeds the dishwasher is fully open. Also, check if the water flow is sufficient to supply your dishwasher correctly. If you find that the water flow is insufficient, contact the company that supplies your water to have them check the flow to your home.
3. Check and clean the dishwasher's water inlet filter: The water supply to your dishwasher may not be very clean or the water may not be pure. It's possible that the water contains many minerals, lime, and/or impurities that can clog the dishwasher filter, so you need to check this filter periodically and clean it to ensure a good water supply for the appliance. Locate this filter and clean it with a little vinegar and a brush.
4. Inspect the dishwasher's water inlet hose: Thoroughly check the hose that supplies water to your dishwasher. Make sure this hose is not bent or crushed by the dishwasher itself; if so, you need to make the necessary repairs. Make sure this hose does not have any water leaks, as otherwise, you will have to replace it completely.
5. Check the dishwasher's water inlet valve: The valve may not be in good working condition, so you may need to replace it. You can try to maintain it and clean it with a little vinegar under the water stream and with a hard-bristled brush. Check it thoroughly and make sure it is not clogged with lime residues; otherwise, it would be best to replace it with a new one.
6. If the problem persists, please review all the above mentioned steps and follow them to the letter: You may have missed some detail or not performed some check correctly.
