What UP
actually means.
UP is not an error. It tells you the dishwasher's software has just been updated.

What to do when UP 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.

Press any program button and the message clears.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for UP on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press any program button and the message clears.
Book a visit only if UP will not go away after a button press.
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
UP has nothing to do with water or drainage; it is a message about the software.

Thermador dishwasher repair
Built-in dishwasher
The standard 24-inch machine under the counter, and the one nearly every American kitchen has.
Panel-ready dishwasher
Hidden behind a cabinet door, controlled from the top edge, and repaired with the panel's weight in mind.
Compact dishwasher
The 18-inch and ADA-height machines for small kitchens, where the tight tub changes both loading and repairs.
