Wait a minute; ZLINE says the warning clears when communication returns. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Does Ed on my ZLINE mean the display has died? No, a display that can show Ed is still powered and working. The code means the display board and the main board stopped exchanging data for too long. ### Will Ed clear by itself on a ZLINE? Give it a minute, since ZLINE notes the code goes away by itself once the boards are talking again. Note whether the buttons respond, since that helps the diagnosis. --- **[Read on the site: ZLINE dishwasher showing Ed | DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/error-codes/zline-ed/)** **[Book a visit with DishwasherRepair.center](https://dishwasherrepair.center/schedule/)**
