Dacor Dishwasher Error Code CL

Description: The CL error code on your Dacor dishwasher indicates a door-related issue. The code “CL” stands for “Close and latch the door.” When this error occurs, the dishwasher is signaling that it is unable to proceed with the current operation due to an improperly closed or unlatched door.

Troubleshooting Steps:

1. Check Door Closure: Ensure that the dishwasher door is fully closed. Inspect for any obstructions that might be preventing the door from closing properly. Items in the dishwasher racks or a misaligned door can hinder the proper closure.
2. Latch Inspection: Examine the door latch mechanism for any visible damage or misalignment. The latch should securely engage when the door is closed. If there are any signs of wear or damage, it may need adjustment or replacement.
3. Reset the Dishwasher: To clear the CL error code, try resetting the dishwasher. This can typically be done by turning off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker or unplugging it for a few minutes before restoring power.
4. Power Cycle: Perform a power cycle by turning off the dishwasher and then turning it back on. This action can help reset the internal components and clear any temporary glitches causing the CL error.
5. Inspect Door Seal: Ensure that the door seal is intact and free from any damage. A compromised door seal may affect the proper closure of the door and trigger the CL error.

Remember to follow safety precautions when troubleshooting or seeking professional assistance. If you are uncertain about any aspect of the troubleshooting process, contacting a qualified technician is the best course of action to ensure a thorough and accurate resolution.
