HE
Heating error
What causes it
Failed heating element.
What it means in practice
The dishwasher isn't heating properly. The heating element is the usual suspect.
What to check before calling
- ✓Power-cycle at the breaker.
- ✓A heating element fault typically needs a technician.
- ✓Check that the dishwasher is receiving power and that the cycle starts normally.
- ✓Run the hot tap before starting the cycle.
When to call a technician
If HE continues, the heating element needs testing.
If those checks don't clear the HE code, it's usually a sign of a failed part rather than something to keep resetting. A technician runs a full diagnostic on your dishwasher, confirms the cause, and quotes the repair before any work starts. The $89 service call is waived if you go ahead with the repair, and parts and labor are covered by our 90-day warranty on parts & labor.
