If HC comes back, turn the breaker off and book a visit.

Still there?

Questions
about HC.

Can I clear HC myself?
Empty the dishwasher. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
How do I test whether Dacor HC was a one-time event?
Empty the dishwasher, add detergent and run a cycle without dishes, as Dacor instructs. If HC appears again, switch off the breaker and book a visit.
Is Dacor HC a low-heat warning?
No, HC is the high-temperature heating check, meaning the machine flagged its heating as running too hot. That is why a repeat calls for cutting power.

Back to your everyday

Still showing HC?

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.
