Model compatibility has not been independently verified
Earlier archive data contained suggested model or series names. Without a clear model/code table in a manufacturer manual, these names are no longer displayed as verified matches.
This is general brand/device guidance; check the model label and official manual.
Open manufacturer sourceWhat does it mean?
The manufacturer identifies E31 as “Drying / heat-pump system fault” for the covered dishwasher models. Code meanings can differ by model, region and platform; this is not proof that a specific part has failed.
Model match: No manufacturer-manual confirmed exact model list is available for this record. Check the model label and official manual.
Check your exact model manual; the same code can mean something else on other platforms.
The source describes the code; the failed part can only be confirmed by testing the appliance.
