Error Code: ER-02 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: There is a failure with the thermistor or turbidity sensor.
How to Fix ER-02 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Shut off the power to the dishwasher from your home’s circuit breaker panel.
- Open the dishwasher door and remove the lower dish rack.
- Unscrew and remove the filter assembly and the lower spray arm to get access to the sump area at the bottom of the tub.
- The thermistor/turbidity sensor is located in the sump. It will have a wire connector attached.
