OE Error Code

This code indicates a drain problem. Typically, this results from clogged food debris or an installation issue. Check the buttons on the monitor to enable draining. To perform a DRAIN ONLY cycle, select the CANCEL & DRAIN option. If draining does not resolve the issue, you may need professional service.

LE and CE Error Code

The LE and CE error codes signify a problem with the motor operation.

To resolve the LE error code:

1. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the power button.

2. Unplug the dishwasher for 10 seconds.

3. Plug the dishwasher back in or switch the circuit breaker on.

4. Press the power button to turn the dishwasher back on.

5. Start a new cycle to see if the error is cleared.

This process should resolve the LE error code.

HE Error Code

The HE error code indicates a heating issue with the dishwasher’s heater.

If the dishwasher is unable to heat the water or if the water overheats, this code will appear. Here’s how to resolve it:

1. Turn off the dishwasher by pressing the power button.

2. Unplug the dishwasher for 10 seconds.

3. Plug it back in.

4. Press the power button to turn the dishwasher back on.

5. Restart a fresh wash cycle.

FE Error Code

The FE error code means there is excess water in the unit, and the dishwasher automatically activates the drain pump.

Follow these steps to address this issue:

1. Turn off the dishwasher using the power button.

2. Unplug the dishwasher for 10 seconds.

3. Plug it back in.

4. Press the power button to turn the dishwasher back on.

5. Start a new wash cycle.

This should resolve the FE error code.

E1 Error Code

The E1 error code suggests a possible leak in the dishwasher.

Leaks may result from improper installation, incorrect detergent usage, or improper loading of dishes. To fix this:

1. Check the drain hose.

   • Ensure the drain hose outlet is not lower than the base of the dishwasher, as this can cause excessive leakage.

   • Ensure the end of the drain hose is above 10 inches from the base to prevent syphoning.

   • Inspect for cracks or damage to the hose and replace it if necessary.

PF Error Code

The PF error code indicates a power failure has occurred.

This feature safeguards your dishwasher during power outages. To reset it:

1. Press and hold any button on the dishwasher’s control panel for 10 seconds to clear the display.

2. Restart the cycle.

tE Error Code

The tE error code indicates a thermal error. This can happen if the water temperature exceeds 194°F or if there is a problem with the thermistor.

In most cases, resolving this issue requires replacing the thermistor.

iE or 1E Error Code

The IE error code occurs when the water level doesn’t reach the required height within 10 minutes of filling or if water does not drain correctly into the dishwasher.

To resolve this:

1. Ensure the water supply valve is open.

2. Avoid bending, kinking, or clogging the water supply line.

3. Test the water flow by disconnecting the supply line and running water into a bucket.

4. Replace the water inlet valve if the error persists.
