Error Code: HD OR HO Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The dishwasher is in “Heat Delay” or “Heater On” mode, allowing the water to reach the optimal temperature.
How to Fix HD OR HO Error (Step-by-Step)
- Recognize this is a normal part of the dishwasher’s operation and not an error.
- The dishwasher is simply pausing the wash cycle to heat the water to the required temperature for optimal cleaning and drying.
- Do not open the door or press any buttons, as this can interrupt the process.
- The cycle will automatically resume once the water is hot enough.
- No action is needed; just allow the dishwasher to complete its cycle.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
- Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
Still Not Working?
