Zanussi washer dryer E10 error code
What E10 means on a Zanussi washer dryer
Water inlet fault: the machine is not filling, often from the inlet valve or supply.
Meaning checked by NAC's engineers, 9 November 2026.
What our engineers say
When your Zanussi washer dryer shows E10, it is telling you there is a water inlet fault. The machine is not filling with water, and this often comes down to the inlet valve or the water supply to the machine.
Engineers sometimes find that the water supply to the machine has simply been left turned off, for example after other plumbing or utilities work in the home, and turning it back on puts things right. At other times they find that the valve which lets water into the machine has failed, which can show up when using the dryer as well as the wash.
An engineer will typically check that water is reaching the machine, test the inlet valve to see whether it is working, and make sure the pipework leading from it is clear. If the valve has failed, they replace it and then run a fill, wash and dry to confirm everything is working. A new valve often has to be ordered, so it may be fitted at a second visit.

Before you check anything yourself
- Switch the washer dryer 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 washer dryer 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.
