HC, 1E	High temperature heater error	HC, 1E, IE (Rotary Models) – The temperature inside the dishwasher is too hot. Switch the power to the dishwasher off (30 seconds) and then on again, at the circuit breaker. Empty the dishwasher. Fill the detergent drawer, and then start a Normal cycle.
HE	Heater error	HE – The temperature inside the dishwasher is being detected incorrectly. Empty the dishwasher. Add detergent, and then run a normal cycle.
LC, LE	Leakage error	LC, LE – The dishwasher’s leak sensor detects moisture or the water reflector is blocked (Waterwall models only). When this code occurs, the dishwasher will turn itself on and will not turn off. During this time it will attempt to drain the water away. If you recently moved the dishwasher, some water may have splashed near the sensor. Give it time to dry. If the noise of the dishwasher is bothersome, unplug it or turn it off at the circuit breaker. If you’ve recently connected the dishwasher to a garbage disposal, make sure the garbage disposal cap is removed. Make sure the detergent dispenser has not been overfilled and that extra detergent is not outside of the dispenser.

Inspect the dishwasher’s drain connection at the sink. Check the drain hose. Run water in the sink that the dishwasher is connected to. Clean the drain, filter, and sump in the tub.
