Quick answer
F14 — commonly associated with a door/lock 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 F14 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
F14 on a Bertazzoni dishwasher is often a clue pointing toward a possible door or door-lock problem. Treat this as plain-language guidance and verify against the use-and-care or tech sheet for your exact unit. Two Bertazzoni units can share a display string yet mean different subsystems; verify for your serial family.

When to call a technician
Recurring F14 is a signal to stop homeowner experiments. Bertazzoni Appliance Repair can test the fault path safely and give a written estimate before parts.
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.
Avoid clearing F14 over and over to force a cycle. Capture it, complete only manual user steps, then let Bertazzoni Appliance Repair test if it sticks.
Control generations differ. Treat F14 as a starting clue, then confirm the exact definition for your serial family before parts.
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.
