How to Fix C2 Error (Step-by-Step)

Turn off the dishwasher’s power at the circuit breaker and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Open the dishwasher door and remove the bottom dish rack.
Locate and remove the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub by twisting it loose. Clean it thoroughly under running water.
Inspect the sump area below the filter for any food particles or debris and clean it out.
Check the drain hose for any clogs or kinks that could prevent proper draining.
On professional models, this can also indicate a high boiler temperature, which requires inspection of the temperature sensor and heating element by a qualified service.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
