E10
Teka E10 on a washing machine: water fill time exceeded
Risk level
Low
Usually safe to check without specialist tools.
Urgency
Medium
Quick answer
On Teka washing machines in the TKD range, E10 means the water fill time (7 min.) has been exceeded. Teka lists a closed tap, a pinched inlet hose or low pressure: check those three things before calling the technical service.
Safety first
Stop and check this first
- Do not take the washing machine apart to check the inlet valve: it is connected to mains voltage. That check belongs to Teka's official technical service.
Safe checks you can perform
- Washing machine tap open
- Inlet hose not bent
- Water pressure
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional
- Do not attempt this professional task: Fill test after the repair
- Do not attempt this professional task: Inlet valve check
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.
Fill test after the repair
What they doTo finish, the technician runs a programme and checks that the washing machine fills in time without E10 returning.
They must show youa complete fill without E10.
In writingthe test carried out, the result and the date.
Inlet valve check
What they doThe technician checks the water inlet valve and the machine's fill using the service test mode before replacing any part.
They must show youthe fill test result and the cause found.
In writingthe cause, any part replaced with its part 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.
Washing machine tap open
- Who:
- you, without opening anything.
- How:
- check that the tap supplying the washing machine is not closed and open it fully; it is the first check Teka gives.
- Result that matters:
- water reaching the washing machine.
- If it was closed:
- open it and run the programme again.
- If it was already open:
- check the inlet hose.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the tap and of the display showing E10.

Inlet hose not bent
- Who:
- you, looking from outside.
- How:
- without taking anything apart, check that the water inlet hose is not bent or pinched between the washing machine and the wall or units.
- Result that matters:
- water being able to pass freely through the hose.
- If it is bent or pinched:
- reposition it without forcing it and run the programme again.
- If it is free:
- go on to the water pressure.
- Evidence to keep:
- photo of the inlet hose route.

Water pressure
- Who:
- you.
- How:
- open another tap in the house and see whether the water comes out weakly; Teka asks you to check that the pressure is adequate, that is, not low.
- Result that matters:
- knowing whether the problem comes from the water supply rather than the washing machine.
- If it comes out weakly:
- wait for the pressure to recover before washing again.
- If pressure is normal and E10 returns:
- contact Teka's official technical service.
- Evidence to keep:
- note of the time and how the water flowed from another tap.

What it means
Teka's service manual MSWM15043 for the SPA washing machine range (TKD, such as the TKD 1270, 1280, 1480 or 1490) defines E10 as water fill time exceeded (7 min.) and gives a closed water tap, a pinched inlet hose, low water pressure and a damaged inlet valve as possible causes. You can check the first three yourself, and they match what Teka Spain says when no water gets into the washing machine. The technician checks the valve. Both sources are in Spanish. The code alone does not prove a part is faulty.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Water tap closedCommon
It is the first cause Teka gives for E10 and the first thing it asks you to check when no water gets into the washing machine.

- Pinched inlet hoseCommon
An inlet hose bent or pinched behind the washing machine stops it from filling within the expected 7 minutes.

- Low water pressurePossible
Teka lists low pressure as a cause of E10 and asks you to check that the water pressure is adequate.

- Damaged inlet valvePossible
If the tap, hose and pressure are fine, the service manual points to the inlet valve, which the technician checks.
