Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for E16 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open the supply valve under the sink all the way.
Check the inlet hose for a kink or damage where it runs behind the dishwasher.
Book a visit if water still does not come in.
Still there?
It usually turns into fill and water valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
E16 is not a leak warning; nothing has escaped, the water just is not arriving.
