Error Code: E2130 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Blocked heat pump.
How to Fix E2130 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dishwasher from power at the circuit breaker and shut off the water supply under the sink.
- Carefully slide the dishwasher out from under the counter. You may need to disconnect the drain hose, water inlet line, and power cord from the back.
- Lay the dishwasher on its back on a towel or blanket to protect the floor and access the bottom panel.
- Remove the screws holding the base panel in place to expose the internal components, including the heat pump assembly.
- Locate the heat pump, which is a large component connected to the sump housing. Inspect the pump and its connecting hoses for any visible foreign objects or blockages.
- Disconnect the wire harnesses and clamps securing the hoses to the pump. Remove the pump from the dishwasher. If a blockage is found, clear it. If the pump is damaged or cannot be cleared, replace it with a new one.
- Reinstall the heat pump, secure all hoses and clamps, reconnect the wiring, and reattach the base panel. Carefully slide the dishwasher back into place, reconnect all lines, turn on the power and water, and run a test cycle to ensure the error is resolved and there are no leaks.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
