How to Fix CL OR CD Error (Step-by-Step)

Ensure the dishwasher door is completely closed and latched and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Check for any obstructions like utensils or racks preventing the door from closing.
Inspect the door latch for any visible damage or misalignment.
Gently clean the door latch mechanism with a damp cloth.
Power cycle the dishwasher by turning it off and on at the circuit breaker.
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?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
