How to Fix bE Error

This error indicates too many suds (bubbles) in the tub, usually from using standard dish soap instead of dishwasher detergent.
Pour 1/4 cup of cooking oil or milk into the tub to break down the foam.
Run a drain cycle or a rinse-only cycle to clear the remaining suds.
Verify the unit is level; improper leveling can sometimes trigger this sensor.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
