How to Fix I5C Error (Step-by-Step)

- Shut off the water supply, usually under the sink and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Place towels under the dishwasher and pull it out from the cabinet to access the drain pump at the bottom.
- Disconnect the drain hose and the wire harness from the pump.
- Check the pump and hoses for any clogs or foreign objects that could be causing the motor to overwork.
