How to Fix IC0, EC0 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Turn off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for 5-10 minutes to reset the electronics.
  2. If the error returns, you’ll need to inspect the wiring between the user interface and the main control board.
  3. To do this, you will likely need to remove the dishwasher’s door panel.
  4. Look for any pinched, frayed, or disconnected wires in the harness that connects the user interface in the door to the main control board at the bottom of the unit.
  5. Disconnect and reconnect the wire connectors at both the user interface and the main control board to ensure a secure connection.
  6. If the wiring appears to be intact, the user interface control board may be faulty and require replacement.
  7. Replace the user interface board, reassemble the door, and restore power to test.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
