Error Codes That Require Dishwasher Reset

If your dishwasher displays error codes, resetting it may help. Common GE Cafe dishwasher error codes include:

LE Error Code

An LE error code indicates water leakage inside the tub. Resetting the dishwasher can often resolve this issue. If the problem persists, we recommend inspecting the door seal and internal hoses for damage.

C4 or C5 Error Code

These error codes suggest that your dishwasher’s water temperature is too low or too high, respectively. Resetting the dishwasher often resolves these errors. If the issue continues, you may need to examine the water supply connection or the heating element.

C2 Error Code

A C2 error code signifies a blocked or sluggish drain path. Before resetting the dishwasher, try clearing any blockages from the drain or filter. If the error code remains after resetting, you might need further inspection or professional assistance.

Besides the steps mentioned earlier, our Settings King team encourages you to consult your appliance’s user manual for a complete list of error codes and their meanings. This valuable resource can help you tackle issues more efficiently by identifying the root cause.
