Close the door until the latch catches; the code turns off by itself. ### Does CL on my Electrolux need a reset? No, the code clears by itself once the door is fully closed and latched. Check that nothing on the racks is blocking the door. ### What if my Electrolux door will not stay latched with CL showing? A latch that will not hold is a repair, not a setting. Book a visit to have the latch checked. --- **[Read on the site: Electrolux dishwasher showing CL | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/electrolux-cl/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
