What H06 actually means
The dishwasher isn't getting the water it expects, so it has halted rather than trying to wash with an empty tub.
On Beko's B3-series dishwasher control, H06 is the water inlet fault. The machine opens the fill valve at the start of the cycle and waits to see the level rise; if the water doesn't arrive within the time the control allows, it abandons the programme and shows the code. In our experience this is more often something outside the machine — a tap, a hose or a blocked inlet screen — than a failed part inside it, which is why the owner checks below are worth doing first.
What H06 looks like on a Beko dishwasher
Most people find this page having searched for what the machine is doing rather than the code itself. On a Beko dishwasher, H06 usually shows up as one or more of these:
- Dishwasher not draining
- Water left in the tub at the end of the cycle
- Stops mid-cycle full of water
- Standing water in the bottom
- Not filling with water
- No water going in
- Takes for ever to fill
- Stops right at the start of the cycle
Recognise any of those? That is this fault, and the rest of this page explains what causes it and what you can check yourself.
What usually causes it
- Water supply tap turned off or only part open
- Kinked or crushed inlet hose behind the machine
- Blocked filter screen in the hose connection at the tap
- Faulty water inlet (fill) valve
- Fill level or pressure sensing fault on the control
What you can safely check yourself
Work through these in order. Anything beyond this — panels off, testing parts, anything to do with the wiring — is an engineer's job, and not one to attempt with the machine plugged in.
- Check the water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open, and run a nearby cold tap to confirm you have mains pressure.
- Look along the inlet hose at the back for kinks or the machine standing on it — ease it straight without pulling the appliance about.
- If the machine is on an aqua-stop hose, check the small red or coloured indicator on the fitting hasn't tripped.
- Turn the dishwasher off at the wall for a minute, switch back on and start a short programme to see whether the code returns.

H06 means the same thing on this model. If yours is not listed, the explanation above still applies — the code is set by the control board, not the model number.

Can I fix Beko H06 myself?
There are 4 checks you can safely do yourself first.
- Check the water tap feeding the dishwasher is fully open, and run a nearby cold tap to confirm you have mains pressure.
- Look along the inlet hose at the back for kinks or the machine standing on it — ease it straight without pulling the appliance about.
- If the machine is on an aqua-stop hose, check the small red or coloured indicator on the fitting hasn't tripped.
- Turn the dishwasher off at the wall for a minute, switch back on and start a short programme to see whether the code returns.
This sometimes clears with those checks. If it comes back, it needs looking at properly.
