The E3 error on the Hisense HSCM15FS dishwasher indicates a problem related to the heating element. To fix this:
1. Check if water is in the base pan due to an overfill or small leak. If so, remove the water before restarting the dishwasher. 2. If the issue persists, it may involve a failure in the washing control system, such as the PCB or motor.
If basic checks do not resolve the issue, service may be required.
