Neff dishwasher E14 error code
What E14 means on a Neff dishwasher
Water intake or flow meter fault.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
When your Neff dishwasher shows error code E14, it is telling you there is a fault with the water intake or with the flow meter, the small part that measures how much water comes into the machine. You may also see a water supply warning, or hear beeping and notice flashing lights, and the cycle may stop before it finishes.
One thing engineers sometimes find is a faulty flow meter. When this part stops reporting the water coming in correctly, the dishwasher can fill a little too much and start draining at the same time, then show the code towards the end of the cycle.
An engineer will usually check how the dishwasher fills and drains, then test the flow meter to see whether it responds properly as water passes through. If the flow meter is at fault, they replace it and run a quick wash and rinse to make sure everything is working as it should. The new part may need to be ordered, in which case it is fitted at a second visit.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the dishwasher off and unplug it, or turn it off at the isolator switch, before you touch anything. Our guide to safely isolating an appliance walks you through it.
- An error code tells you where to look, not that it's safe to take the dishwasher apart. Don't remove panels or covers to get at the parts it points to: that's an engineer's job.
- If it involves the mains supply, sealed parts, or you're not confident at any point, stop and book a qualified engineer rather than risk injury or further damage.
