Turn the unit off. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does a restart usually clear Dacor 3C? Dacor's instruction for 3C is to turn the unit off and restart it. If the code is gone after that, run a normal load; if not, book a visit. ### What part is Dacor 3C about? 3C is the pump operation check, meaning the wash pump did not run as expected. It is not a drain or water supply code. --- **[Read on the site: Dacor dishwasher showing 3C | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/dacor-3c/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
