Safe Checks You Can Do

• Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the dishwasher breaker has not tripped; if it has, switch it back to the ON position
• Verify the dishwasher's outlet is receiving power by plugging a lamp into the same outlet
• Remove the dishwasher filter basket and rinse thoroughly under running water to eliminate any debris or food particles
• Locate the water supply valve beneath your sink and confirm it is fully open (turned counterclockwise)
• Inspect both upper and lower spray arms for clogs by holding them up to light and looking through the spray holes
• Ensure the dishwasher door closes completely with an audible click and verify the door latch is fully engaged
• Perform a hard reset by switching the dishwasher circuit breaker to OFF, waiting 60 seconds for power to drain, then switching back to ON
• Wait 5 minutes after reset and attempt to run a wash cycle to see if the error clears
