Error codeAP
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
AP is a smartphone-connection mode message, not a fault. Press and hold iQ Control to connect the dishwasher.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so AP 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
AP is a smartphone-connection mode message, not a fault.
AP is not a fault
An AP on the display means the appliance is in smartphone-connection mode. It is shown while pairing with the app and does not report a problem. The manual covers it for the Modernist and Heritage dishwashers DDW24M99* and DDW24T99*, and the same message appears on the 42-inch French door refrigerator DRF425300AP.
How to connect
Dishwasher: when the control panel displays AP, press and hold iQ Control to connect with your smartphone.
Refrigerator: with AP showing, press and hold Fridge for more than 5 seconds.
Fault codes on the same list
If the dishwasher shows a real fault instead, compare 5C for draining and 4C for the water supply.
