Error code 04 on a dishwasher is usually caused by a problem with the water inlet valve. This error code means that the dishwasher is not getting enough water to operate properly. The water inlet valve is responsible for bringing water into the dishwasher, so if it is not working properly, the dishwasher will not be able to get enough water to wash the dishes. There are a few things that you can do to try to fix this problem. First, you can check to make sure that the water inlet valve is turned on. If it is turned off, turn it on and see if that fixes the problem. If the water inlet valve is already on, you may need to replace it.
