Quick answer
3C is a pump operation check. Turn the dishwasher off and restart; if it continues, contact Dacor.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so 3C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
3C is a pump operation check.
What 3C is
3C is the information code for a pump operation check. It is listed for the Modernist and Heritage 24-inch dishwashers, series DDW24M99* and DDW24T99*, and the manual calls it a functional check.
What to try
Turn the dishwasher off and restart it. If 3C continues to appear, contact Dacor.
Codes from the same table
5C is the drain check, a close relative when water is not leaving.
For a Dacor dishwasher repair visit in Los Angeles, call (310) 742-1907. Say that the display shows 3C and give your model number and the restart you tried.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
