Baumatic BDW13 14 dishwasher SHowing E3 Fault

E3 fault is caused by the water reaching the required temperature or taking too long to reach temperature. It will be either a malfunction of the temperature sensor or something wrong with the heating element.

Error 20 is not a listed error in Baumatic dishwasher. They only mention E1 to E7.

There is a reset procedure for random errors which can be viewed at this page.

Please check if this helps.

E3 error arises due to the malfunction of temp sensor or the heating element. Check for the thermostat.

here is the manual

Baumatic E4 error is caused by a float switch triggering in the sump of the machine. Anything over about 1/2 a pint in the bottom of the machine will lift the polystyrene float and the fault code will show. If the water has been caused by over enthusiastic cleaning or a drip or two over time then all that is required is for the water to be removed. For a built in machine (DISCONNECT THE POWER) then just unclip the front bottom right hand black plastic cover (behind your kitchen kickboard). Using a jcloth or similar mop up and the fault will clear. Replace the cover and restore the power and kickboard.

The E3 message on your Baumatic dishwasher is a malfunction of the temp sensor or the heating element. Test each part separately and replace the faulty part.

E3 is heater related fault - either heater itself or the small thermostat right at the back in the middle of the machine screwed up into the base of the tub. This thermostat being open circuit is a common fault. Also check for the door loom chafing on the poorly finished lower panel where the wiring leaves the door into the base of the appliance.

Give me your model number to say how to change thermostat.

e4 code means the machine is showing a fault code for overfill,tip the machinee to a 45 degree angle and get excess water out should run ok after that
