How to Fix C6 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply at your home’s circuit breaker panel.
Pull the dishwasher out from under the counter to access the components underneath.
Locate the boiler assembly and the temperature sensor that is mounted on it.
Unplug the electrical connector from the sensor carefully and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Remove the old sensor from the boiler. It may be held in place by a clip or be threaded.
Install the new temperature sensor, ensuring it is securely fitted, and reconnect the electrical wires.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
