How to Fix Dishwasher Error
- Unplug dishwasher from electrical power.
- Locate pressure switch (typically mounted on side wall or top of tub assembly).
- Disconnect thin vinyl air hose from pressure switch port.
- Blow forcefully through hose to clear moisture, lint, or debris. Inspect hose for cracks/kinks; replace if damaged.
- Test pressure switch operation with multimeter in continuity mode: switch must be OPEN when tub is empty. Blow into port—the switch should CLOSE with audible click.
- If switch fails to change state: disconnect wiring harness, remove mounting screws.
- Install new pressure switch using OEM part DD34-00001A. Secure mounting hardware.
- Reconnect vinyl hose securely to both pressure switch and air dome port on tub.
