Machines named in the manual
Owners of an EIDW6105 or EIDW6305 may meet it. These are older built-in models; the manual, Use & Care guide 154671201, says only the EIDW6305 shows codes in its status window.
Handling it
A technician finds the cause.
If the dishwasher behaves oddly, keep it unplugged until then.
