Hello, according to Panasonic, error codes beginning with the letter "U" refer to user errors, which can be easily resolved by following the instructions provided in the user manual. I have also submitted your question to the AI and here is their response: The U14 error code generally indicates a problem with the steam system (tank not properly engaged, empty, or scaled circuit). To remedy the problem: check the water level, firmly reinsert the tank, empty the recovery tray, or reset the appliance by unplugging it for 5 to 10 minutes. If the problem persists, the steam circuit may be scaled up, in which case descaling is required.
