🍽️ Bosch dishwasher displays E02 error (water inlet)

🔧 Troubleshooting Steps

1. Check the water supply valve is fully open (turn it 1/4 turn past the 'on' position to ensure the valve is not partially closed)
   ✓ Expected: Valve fully open
2. Check the water inlet filter (at the hose connection point at the back of the dishwasher). Remove, clean, reinstall
   ✓ Expected: Filter clean, no debris
3. If E02 persists, check the inlet valve solenoid. Listen for the click when the dishwasher starts a cycle. No click = solenoid not energizing
   ✓ Expected: Solenoid clicks, water flows
4. If the solenoid clicks but no water enters, measure 120V at the solenoid during the fill cycle. No voltage = control board issue
   ✓ Expected: 120V at solenoid during fill
5. If voltage is present but the solenoid doesn't open, replace the inlet valve assembly
   ✓ Expected: New valve, E02 cleared
