Error Code: CL OR CD Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The dishwasher door is open.
How to Fix CL OR CD Error (Step-by-Step)
- Open the dishwasher door completely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Check for any dishes, utensils, or debris that may be obstructing the door from closing fully.
- Ensure the top and bottom racks are pushed all the way back into the dishwasher.
- Inspect the door latch mechanism for any visible damage or blockage.
- Close the door firmly, pressing from the top center until you hear a distinct ‘click’ sound, which indicates the latch is engaged.
- If the code persists after ensuring the door is properly closed, try resetting the dishwasher by turning off its power at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
