I actually took my canister to the kitchen sink and replaced the cvvs. I ran hot water over the hose/nipple area, then used a pair of pliers to squeeze that connection, until it broke. Hose was off, I then removed the pieces of plastic from the hose. Sliding the old valve off, you need to push the metal tab, then reposition that tab so the new valve, locks in. I installed the new valve, and put the hose under hot water again, to push it on to the new valve. GL

Except a dirty filter doesn't throw the codes posted by the OP.
