Dacor dishwashers are luxury built-ins, most of them panel-ready, and the current generation connects through Samsung's SmartThings app. Several generations are in homes, so service starts with the model and serial number; the newest carries a built-in water softener that has to be kept supplied with salt. The Dacor lineup ### Builds 2 dishwasher types Built-in dishwasher · Panel-ready dishwasher ### Called out for Cloudy Glasses and White Residue and 5 more problems on Dacor ### Repairs we do 10 repairs, on any make Diagnostic visit · Drain and pump repair · Fill and water valve repair · Wash motor and circulation ### Error codes LC · 4C · 5C · HC · 3C 6 Dacor codes with a page of their own ## The Dacor lineup. Dacor builds 2 of the 4 dishwasher types this site covers. Which one decides how the visit is planned. [All dishwasher types](https://dishwasherrepair.center/types/) Built-in ### Built-in dishwasher **4** of the problems we see on Dacor come up on it Built-in dishwasher repair Panel-ready ### Panel-ready dishwasher **4** of the problems we see on Dacor come up on it Panel-ready dishwasher repair ## What is particular to Dacor. Current Dacor dishwashers include the Modernist and Heritage DDW24M99/DDW24T99 series and the DDW24G9000AP, which adds the water softener, Auto Release Dry and a Sabbath mode. Which series you have changes the panel hardware, the spring setup and the code list. ### A water softener that uses salt The DDW24G9000AP has a salt storage compartment and a water-hardness setting, and it regenerates its softener during the dry phase. Cloudy glasses, lime film or salty-water corrosion often trace back to an empty salt reservoir or the wrong hardness setting rather than to a failed part. ### Spring levels matched to the panel The Modernist and Heritage models take custom panels of about 7 to 20 lb and set the door spring to one of five levels by panel weight; the DDW24G9000AP accepts panels of 9 to 44 lb. A door that falls open or will not stay shut usually means a spring and panel mismatch. ### LC and the leak sensor An LC code is a leakage check from a sensor under the tub. After the leak is fixed, the sensor has to be dried before the code clears, so an LC that keeps returning may be a wet sensor rather than a new leak. ### Two-character information codes Current models display codes such as 4C (water supply), 5C (drain), HC (heating), 3C (pump) and 1C (low water level, often a clogged filter). Each one points the visit at one system before anything is opened. Parts Parts for current Dacor models are generally obtainable once the model and serial number are confirmed. Panel brackets, trim and parts for older, pre-Samsung Dacor generations are the items more likely to take time. Repair or replace Usually worth repairing. A Dacor is set into custom cabinetry with a fitted panel, so most repairs cost less than replacing the unit and remaking the panel installation; older generations with hard-to-find parts are the exception.

The DDW24G9000AP has a built-in water softener that uses dishwasher-specific salt, set to your local water hardness. If the salt runs out on hard water, glasses cloud and lime builds up. Use only dishwasher salt; other salts or solvents can damage the softening system. ### My Dacor shows LC even after the leak was fixed. Why? LC comes from the water leakage sensor under the tub. Dacor's instructions have the sensor dried out after the leak is stopped; until it is dry, the code can keep coming back. If LC still appears after that, book a visit. ### The door will not stay closed until I push it. Can I close it right after the cycle? If Auto Release Dry is on, the door opens at the end of the cycle to let steam out, and Dacor notes it cannot be closed by hand for the next two minutes. That is normal. A door that will not hold closed at other times points at the panel weight and door springs. ### What does 1C mean? 1C is a low-water-level check. Dacor's first steps are a clogged filter, the use of dishwasher detergent and an evenly loaded rack; if it continues after a restart, the fill system needs a technician. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor Dishwasher Repair | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/brands/dacor/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
