Error Code: DLO Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: Unbalanced load.
How to Fix DLO Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the dishwasher and check the loading of the racks. Rearrange dishes to create a more balanced load, ensuring nothing is blocking the spray arms.
- Verify that the dishwasher is level. Place a bubble level on the top edge of the open door and on the bottom rack. Adjust the leveling feet at the base of the dishwasher as needed.
- Close the door and try to start the cycle again.
- If the error persists, turn off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker.
- Remove the screws holding the inner door panel and separate it from the outer panel.
- Inspect the door latch and switches for any visible damage or loose connections.
- If the latch mechanism is broken, it will need to be replaced to resolve the error.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
