Gorenje dishwasher F45 error
ErrorF45
Gorenje uses F45 for a diverter fault. The official table does not verify a user repair, so record the model and arrange service.
What the code means

Stop the dishwasher and isolate power before any external inspection. Do not open fixed panels or force the diverter mechanism.
Typical symptoms
