A dishwasher with a digital display flashes an error code if something goes wrong. That error code can help you figure out what might be the cause of the problem. Below are common error code tables for the most popular brands, along with an explanation of what the code means, possible repair parts you might need and DIY advice. Visit Sears PartsDirect’s repair help section for more DIY advice for dishwashers, other major appliances, lawn and garden equipment, garage door openers, vacuum cleaners and more.
