What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Check the inlet valve
What they doThe technician measures the valve coil and checks whether it closes without power, with a multimeter and the tap opened under control.
They must show youthe measured value against the specification and whether water passes with the valve unpowered.
In writingthe result and the part replaced.
Check fill control and level detection
What they doIf the valve closes correctly, the technician checks what the board commands and whether level detection responds.
They must show youa fill test that stops correctly after the repair.
In writingpart number and the reason.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Inlet tap closed
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- close the valve that feeds the dishwasher before anything else.
- Result that matters:
- stopping water from coming in.
- If you no longer hear water entering:
- it came from the supply; keep the tap closed until the visit.
- If you still hear water or see it escaping:
- close the home's main water valve.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the closed valve and the time.

What it means
Balay explains that E16 appears when the appliance detects water coming in continuously. Water intake is governed by the inlet valve and the electronics that open and close it, and the amount is monitored by the appliance's control. If water keeps entering when it should not, the valve, its control or level detection can be at fault. The code does not say which, which is why Balay says to close the tap and call its service.
