How to Fix Dishwasher Error
- Verify household electrical power is restored. Check circuit breaker panel to ensure dishwasher’s dedicated 15A breaker is fully ON.
- Measure voltage at dishwasher outlet with multimeter during operation—must maintain 110-120V AC.
- Inspect power cord and terminal block connections inside dishwasher for looseness, corrosion, or arcing damage.
- Tighten terminal block screws to 8 in-lbs torque if accessible and loose.
- Ensure dishwasher is on dedicated circuit with no other high-draw appliances sharing the line.
- For recurring voltage issues: install hole-house voltage regulator or dedicated UPS for dishwasher circuit.
- After verifying stable power, restore dishwasher operation.
- Run short cycle to confirm normal operation without error recurrence.
- Monitor voltage during multiple cycles if problem has occurred repeatedly.
- If error persists with stable voltage, suspect main control board fault requiring professional diagnosis.
