The E4 error on the EdgeStar BIDW1802SS dishwasher indicates water in the base pan, likely due to an overfill or small leak.
Next troubleshooting steps if the dishwasher is not filling after a reset:
1. Remove any water from the base pan. 2. Ensure the main water supply is turned on. 3. Check that the dishwasher door is properly closed and latched. 4. Confirm that the power supply is connected and turned on. 5. Verify the fuse is not blown or circuit breaker is not tripped. 6. Call a certified technician if the issue continues.

Features of Your New Dishwasher Multiple Filter System Your dishwasher has a Multiple Filter System. In the system there are three filters that can separate soiled water and clean water in different chambers. This Multiple Filter System improves your dishwasher’s performance with less water and energy use.
Quick Start 1. Load the dishwasher (see Preparing and Loading Dishes section.) 2. Add detergent (see Filling the Detergent Dispenser.) 3. Add LIQUID rinse aid (see Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser.) Rinse aid greatly improves drying and reduces water spots and film. The heated drying option will not perform as well without rinse aid.

Status Display – If the Delay Start function is selected, the number of HOURS (H:01 – H:24) remaining in the delay time is shown. After a Wash Cycle is selected, the remaining time of the cycle is shown in hours and minutes (2:45 – END or -:--.) In certain situations that are critical to the dishwasher’s function and safe operation, the display may show error codes.
Cycle Chart Note: The remaining time can suddenly increase or decrease by several minutes. This means the Smart Sensor has checked the soil level and determined if additional water fills need to be added or subtracted. Wash Cycle Description Water Use (Gal./Lit.) Cycle Time (Min.) Pre-wash Main-wash (140°F/60°C)
Preparing and Loading Dishes Dish Preparation Scrape away large pieces of food, bones, pits, toothpicks, etc. The continuously filtered wash system will remove the remaining food particles. Burned-on foods should be loosened before loading. Empty any liquids from glasses and cups. Foods such as mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice and tomato based products may cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period of time.
Loading the Upper Basket The upper basket is designed for glasses, mugs, cups, small plates, bowls and plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.” For best results, place the items with their soiled surfaces facing down or toward the center. Tilt slightly for better drainage. Adjusting the Upper Basket The upper basket can be raised to allow for dishes up to 11”...
Loading the Silverware Basket The silverware basket is divided into separate compartments (illustrated below) to allow for maximum cleaning efficiency. Spoons and forks should be placed in the basket with their handles pointing downward. Knives and other sharp utensils should be placed in the basket with their handles pointed upward.
Forgot to Add a Dish? A dish can be added any time before the detergent dispenser opens: 1. Open the door slightly and wait several seconds for the wash cycle to stop. 2. You can open the door completely after the spray arms stop spinning. 3.

2. Add the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent to the main wash compartment. Close the cap by sliding it forward and pressing down Caution: Use only detergent specifically made for use in dishwashers. Do not use dish detergent designed for hand washing dishes as it will cause the dishwasher to overflow with suds.
Filling the Rinse Aid Dispenser The rinse aid is released during the final rinse to remove spots, prevent new film build-up on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic, and to improve drying time. Your dishwasher is designed to use ONLY LIQUID rinse aids. DO NOT use powdered rinse aids which will clog the dispenser and cause malfunctions.
4. Refill the rinse aid when the Status Display shows the “LSb” error code. Your dishwasher will run with low or no rinse aid, but your rinsing and drying results will suffer. Note: Only use branded rinse aid, such as Jet-Dry, for the dishwasher. ...
Dishwasher Maintenance Keeping your dishwasher clean improves its performance, reduces unnecessary repairs and lengthens its life. Cleaning the Exterior It is best to clean spills on the outside of your dishwasher as they occur. Use a soft, damp cloth on the control panel and door to gently wipe away spills and dust.
