C3

Meaning: Will not drain

What causes C3

The dishwasher cannot pump the water out.

What to do

Clear the drain path. If it still won't drain, the pump needs service.

Can I fix it myself?

Often, yes. Try the check below first — it costs nothing and frequently clears the code.

If the code comes back

Book a visit and add the code to the booking. A technician arrives knowing which parts to bring, diagnoses the dishwasher for a flat $89 and gives you an exact quote before doing any work.
