03

Questions
about OE.

Can I clear OE myself?
Check the drain hose for a clog, kink or ice. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Is cleaning the filters enough to clear OE on my SKS?
Often not, because SKS puts the drain hose, any air gap and the disposal on the same list as the filters. Go through each of them before starting another cycle.
Could cold weather cause OE on an SKS?
It can, since a frozen drain hose appears on the SKS list next to a clogged or kinked one. Until the ice clears, water cannot leave the tub.

Back to your everyday

Still showing OE?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
