What's Happening

The control panel detected a stuck or continuously pressed button. Dried detergent or food residue around buttons can cause sticking. The error can also indicate a communication failure between the panel and the main control board.

How to Fix It

Turn off the dishwasher. Press every button on the panel individually to free any that are stuck. Clean around button edges with a damp cloth. If the error returns after restarting, the control panel may need replacement.
