Dishwasher Error Codes

A dishwasher error code points to a problem with water supply, draining, leaks, heating or the wash motor. Many codes come from a clogged filter, a kinked drain hose or water in the base pan, and you can often fix them yourself in under an hour.

Browse guides for Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Frigidaire, Bosch, LG, Samsung and Maytag dishwashers. Each article explains the code in plain English, lists the likely causes with how to check each one, walks you through the fix and the reset, and tells you when a repair pro is the safer choice. Sources from the manufacturer are listed on every page.
