Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for AE on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Shut the SKS machine's water supply off at the valve.

02

Let the drain pump keep working and dry any water you can reach at the floor.

03

Book a visit; the manual sends AE straight to service.

Still there?

It usually turns into leak and seal repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Do not be alarmed when the machine restarts after you switch it off. SKS built it to keep draining until the AE condition is gone.

What you may
notice with it.

The dishwasher problem AE tends to arrive with. Answer these at the dishwasher before anyone is booked.

In SKS's own words

If power is turned off to the machine, the machine powers back on automatically until the AE error is resolved.

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. AE is listed in the manuals for the Signature Kitchen Suite 24-inch SKSDW2401S and SKSDW2402P.

Questions
about AE.

Can I clear AE myself?
Shut the SKS machine's water supply off at the valve. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does my SKS switch itself back on after I turn it off with AE?
The machine is designed to keep powering up and running the drain pump until the leak condition clears. The restart is part of the protection, not a second problem.
What can I do myself while my SKS shows AE?
Close the water valve feeding the dishwasher, let the pump carry on, and mop up whatever water you can reach at floor level. The manual lists no owner repair for AE and points to service.

Back to your everyday

Still showing AE?
