Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for 3C on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the unit off.

02

Restart it.

03

If 3C is still there, book a visit.

Still there?

It usually turns into wash motor and circulation. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

Do not load the machine again right after a 3C. Make sure one restart actually clears it first.

Questions
about 3C.

Can I clear 3C myself?
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.

Still showing 3C?

Book with the characters exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
