What this code means
The control is not receiving the expected signal from the door-latch Hall sensor, so the dishwasher may not start or may stop during a cycle.
Most likely causes
- The door is not closing or aligning correctly
- The latch magnet and Hall sensor are misaligned
- The door-latch sensor or wiring has failed
- The power module is not reading the sensor correctly
Safe checks for the owner
- Remove any rack or dish that prevents the door from closing fully.
- Check the door seal and cabinet alignment and close the door until the latch clicks.
- Disconnect power and inspect only for visible latch damage; do not bypass the door safety circuit.
Estimated U.S. repair cost
$180–$380, depending on model, access, parts availability and local labor.
