Gorenje dishwasher F52 error
ErrorF52
Gorenje identifies F52 as a water-level fault. Clean the coarse and fine filters and inspect the external inlet filter before service.
What the code means
The dishwasher has detected an abnormal water level
Unplug the dishwasher before removing filters and close the water tap before touching the inlet hose. Stop if the tub is overfilling or leaking.
Typical symptoms
01F52 appears during filling or washing
02The water level may be too low or too high
03The dishwasher may stop before completing the cycle
Likely causes
Start with the least invasive explanation and stop if the check requires internal electrical or sealed-system access.
01Dirty coarse or fine filters
02A blocked external inlet-hose filter
03A water-level sensor or fill fault requiring diagnosis
Safe next steps
- 1Confirm F52 and isolate power
- 2Remove and clean the coarse and fine filters
- 3Close the water tap before touching the inlet hose
- 4Inspect and clean the external inlet-hose filter as the Gorenje manual shows
- 5Refit parts, reopen the tap, and test once; arrange service if the water-level code returns
Step-by-step repair
- 1Clean the accessible filters and correct only visible inlet restrictions. F52 can still require level-sensor or fill diagnosis; do not replace those parts from the code alone.
