Error codeF5 / F-5
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
Dacor EDW/IDW dishwashers list F5 as AIR FLOW FAN on the display.
Model compatibility: Bosch reuses codes across series and model years, so F5 / F-5 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Air flow fan, as labelled on the display list.
Fast facts
Display: F5 or F-5.
Label in the manual: AIR FLOW FAN.
Applies to: Dacor EDW/IDW 24-inch dishwashers, Epicure and Distinctive, an older series.
Detail
The manual names the fan and says nothing more about the cause or a fix for the owner. Its manual test mode switches the drying fan on first, so a technician can compare the fan’s behaviour against that step.
Sensible next move
Switch the dishwasher off at the breaker if it is misbehaving, then book a check.
F3: heater, with no temperature rise during wash and rinse.
Dacor dishwasher service for five metro areas
