Compare dishwasher codes that usually point to leak detection, water in the base, or float-switch events.

Use this as a narrowing step

A symptom can point to several different parts or installation issues. Use this hub to find likely code records, then confirm the exact code on the appliance display.

Coverage status

This page is published as a comparison hub for matching records. Open the exact code record before using any guidance.

How to narrow it

Do not start another cycle. From outside the appliance, note whether the message names a leak, whether water is visible in the base or drip tray, and whether a float-related alert is shown. These observations help separate the listed records but do not locate the leak or confirm a failed part. Keep power and water boundaries in place, match the exact displayed code, and move to qualified service if the alert or water returns.
