Error Code: OL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Overloaded.
How to Fix OL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the dishwasher door to view the contents and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Remove several items from both the top and bottom racks to reduce the load.
- Rearrange the remaining dishes to ensure they are not nested together and that water can circulate freely.
- Make sure that tall items like baking sheets or large platters are not blocking the path of the spray arms.
- Spin the upper and lower spray arms by hand to ensure they can rotate a full 360 degrees without hitting any dishes.
- Close the dishwasher door securely and press the ‘Start/Resume’ button to restart the cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
