Monogram Dishwasher Error Code E3

The E3 error code on a Monogram dishwasher indicates that the overflow sensor has been activated. This sensor is designed to detect water leaks in the dishwasher and prevent damage. If the sensor is activated, it will stop the dishwasher and display the E3 error code.

There are three possible causes for the E3 error code:

• Leaky door seal: The door seal is responsible for creating a tight seal around the door of the dishwasher. If the door seal is damaged or worn, it can allow water to leak into the dishwasher.
• Faulty overflow sensor: The overflow sensor is a small, electronic device that is located inside the dishwasher. If the sensor is faulty, it may not be able to detect water leaks correctly.
• Excessive water usage: The dishwasher may be using too much water, which can activate the overflow sensor. This can be caused by a number of factors, such as a clogged drain hose, a faulty water inlet valve, or a malfunctioning water level sensor.

If you see the E3 error code on your Monogram dishwasher, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Inspect the door seal for damage. Look for cracks, tears, or other signs of damage. If you find any damage, you will need to replace the door seal.
2. Test the overflow sensor. You can do this by using a multimeter to measure the resistance of the sensor. The resistance should be within the specified range for your dishwasher model. If the resistance is outside of the specified range, you will need to replace the sensor.
3. Check the water level settings. Make sure that the water level is set correctly. If the water level is too high, it can cause the overflow sensor to activate.

Additional Tips

• If you are unable to resolve the issue yourself, you may need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
• You can also consult your dishwasher’s user manual for more detailed troubleshooting instructions.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each possible cause of the E3 error code:

Leaky door seal

The door seal is one of the most important components of a dishwasher. It is responsible for creating a tight seal around the door to prevent water leaks. If the door seal is damaged or worn, it can allow water to leak into the dishwasher.

To inspect the door seal for damage, you can use a flashlight to look for cracks, tears, or other signs of damage. You can also try to feel for any gaps between the door and the dishwasher body. If you find any damage, you will need to replace the door seal.

Faulty overflow sensor

The overflow sensor is a small, electronic device that is located inside the dishwasher. It is responsible for detecting water leaks in the dishwasher. If the sensor is faulty, it may not be able to detect water leaks correctly.

To test the overflow sensor, you can use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the sensor. The resistance should be within the specified range for your dishwasher model. If the resistance is outside of the specified range, you will need to replace the sensor.

Excessive water usage

The dishwasher may be using too much water, which can activate the overflow sensor. This can be caused by a number of factors, such as a clogged drain hose, a faulty water inlet valve, or a malfunctioning water level sensor.

To check the water level settings, you can consult your dishwasher’s user manual. The water level should be set to the correct level for the size of your load.
