VERIFIED
The heater is the part of a dishwasher that warms wash water and helps with drying. F8 (F08 on some lists) is how Bertazzoni’s newer models report a heater error. The action column says to contact service.
What is and is not in the source
- Fault: heater error.
- Action: contact service.
- Causes: not given.
- Reset or owner check: not given.
Because the heater works at mains voltage and sits in contact with water, the absence of owner steps is what you would expect. The part is not for home repair.
What you may notice
Dishes may come out cooler or wetter than usual. That is an observation, not a diagnosis, since the manual does not link F8 to those results. If you see them, mention them when you call.
Do and do not
| Do | Do not |
|---|---|
| Cancel the program and unplug the machine | Open the lower access panel |
| Note the code and the model number | Touch the element or its wires |
| Tell service if F6 or F7 also appeared | Keep restarting to see if it clears |
Linked entries
- E3: the E-code models report heating that failed to reach temperature in 90 minutes, with the heater first on the check list
- F6: a faulty heater sensor
- F7: overheating
Questions about F8
Do I need to drain the dishwasher before service? The manual does not ask for that. Mention any water left in the tub when you call.
Is the code the same on all Bertazzoni dishwashers? The F-code table with F8 appears in five manuals, for the DW24T3, DW24T3 T26, DW18S2, DW24T2 and DW24S3 families, with the same wording.

Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F8 / F08 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
