F3 is water that will not stop entering. Shut the tap and call service.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F3 / F03 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
F3 reports continuous water input; close the tap and contact service.
What F3 signals
Water is coming into the dishwasher when it should not be. Bertazzoni’s fault table names F3 (F03 in some lists) continuous water input, and the remedy comes in two parts: shut the tap, then reach service.
The tap comes first
An owner can stop the flow only by closing the tap. If water has already spread beyond the tub, F1 is the overflow entry with its own steps.
Nothing else to attempt
The manual offers no reset, no filter cleaning and no list of causes. The parts that control the water cannot be serviced by the owner, so cleaning and running again will not help. With the tap shut, turn the dishwasher off at the plug as well, so that no new fill can begin if the supply is reopened.
Where this entry appears
Five manuals carry it with matching text: the DW24T3IXV / DW24T3IPV, DW24T3IXT26 / DW24T3IPT26, DW18S2IXV / DW18S2IPV, DW24T2IXB / DW24T2IPB and DW24S3IPV.
Two questions
Does it blame my tap? No. The table only uses the tap to stop the water while the cause is sought.
Will the tub empty on its own? The source does not tell. Report any water that stays inside.
