Quick answer
E13 — commonly associated with a water-intake issue on a Bertazzoni dishwasher. Meaning can vary by model; verify before relying on it.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so E13 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
Bertazzoni dishwasher controls may raise E13 when a possible water-intake or supply problem is involved. Record the full model number; the same characters can map differently across years. Photograph the full code and rating label before any reset or parts conversation.

When to call a technician
If you are unsure at any point with E13 on screen, contact Bertazzoni Appliance Repair for on-site confirmation rather than opening panels yourself.
Seeing this code on your Bertazzoni appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair. Independent service — not an official Bertazzoni service center.
Clearing the display is fine once notes are saved — it is not a repair. When E13 comes back on the next use, contact Bertazzoni Appliance Repair.
Not necessarily. Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and years. Record your full model number so Bertazzoni Appliance Repair can interpret E13 correctly.
No. Bertazzoni Appliance Repair publishes independent repair guidance for homeowners. Use your Bertazzoni model manual for manufacturer wording, then book an independent technician if the fault continues.
