What to do when CL shows on the dishwasherKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting someone turned on, or a reminder the machine shows on purpose — a control lock, a demo mode, a rinse-aid prompt. Nothing is broken and no part is needed.
Usually leads toNo repair
Close the door until the latch catches; the code turns off by itself.

The door does not click shut, springs back open, or closes but the machine acts as if it is open.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for CL on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door until the latch catches; the code turns off by itself.
Move any item that sticks out past the front of the racks.
Book a visit if the latch will not hold.
Cleared?
No part needed replacing. If the next full cycle still stops partway or leaves water in the tub, treat that as a new problem.
What not to do
Seeing CL at the start of a cycle is expected when the door is ajar; it is not a stored error.
