Question:

What should I do if my dishwasher shows a 5E, 5C, SC, or SE error code?

Answer:

If your dishwasher displays one of these error codes, it means it's having trouble draining. Check if the drain hose is pinched, kinked, or clogged. If a professional installed it, contact them to inspect the drain hose. If you installed it, you'll need to remove the dishwasher to check the hose. Follow our guide on fixing a dishwasher that won't drain. If the error code remains, turn off the power and ask for service.

Terms:
