Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Smeg's own guidance for E5 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the water tap is open and the hose connections are right.
Clean the filter if it is fouled.
Book a visit if E5 persists.
Still there?
It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E5 is not a program-ending alarm: once the water supply problem is fixed, the cycle carries on.

Smeg dishwasher repair
Built-in dishwasher
The standard 24-inch machine under the counter, and the one nearly every American kitchen has.
Panel-ready dishwasher
Hidden behind a cabinet door, controlled from the top edge, and repaired with the panel's weight in mind.
Compact dishwasher
The 18-inch and ADA-height machines for small kitchens, where the tight tub changes both loading and repairs.
