What can I safely check before calling a technician for Bertazzoni Dishwasher Error Code E5?

Check the circuit breaker: Locate your home's electrical panel and verify the breaker for the dishwasher circuit is in the ON position. Switch it OFF for 60 seconds, then switch it back ON to reset the appliance Turn on the water supply: Locate the water shut-off valve under the sink (typically a knob or lever on the cold water line). Ensure it is fully turned counterclockwise to the open position Inspect the inlet hose: Pull out the dishwasher and look at the inlet hose connection points. Check for any visible kinks, twists, or pinches in the hose from the water valve to the dishwasher. Straighten any bends carefully Check the inlet hose screen filter: Locate where the inlet hose connects to the water supply valve under the sink. Carefully disconnect the hose and inspect the small screen filter at the connection point for sediment buildup. Rinse with clean water if clogged Verify water pressure: Ensure no other faucets or appliances are running simultaneously, as low household water pressure can trigger this error. Verify the main water supply is functioning normally at other fixtures Inspect the door latch: Open and close the dishwasher door firmly and listen for a distinct click. The door must latch completely for the water inlet valve to activate. Clean the latch area of any debris Reset the dishwasher: Turn off the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for exactly 60 seconds, then turn it back ON. Allow the control board to reinitialize and clear any temporary error codes
