⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: ER-06 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: A lower fan failure has occurred.
How to Fix ER-06 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Perform a hard reset. Turn off the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for at least 5 minutes to clear any temporary glitches with the control board.
- Turn the power back on. After 5 minutes, restore power at the circuit breaker.
- Enter the service check mode. This process can vary, but a common method is to turn the dishwasher off, then press and hold the two leftmost buttons while turning the power back on. Release the buttons when the LEDs light up.
- Clear stored error codes. Once in service mode, press the lower-left button one time. This should cause the LEDs to flash and may produce a beep, indicating the error memory has been cleared.
- Exit the check mode. Turn the dishwasher off using the power button to return to normal operation.
- Run a test cycle. Start a normal wash cycle and let it run completely through to the drying phase to see if the ER-06 code reappears.
- If the error returns, it indicates a persistent fault with the lower fan or its wiring, which will require professional service.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
