canuck the pro: Handyman: I am sorry you are having issues.
canuck the pro: Handyman: I will be glad to help you today.
canuck the pro: Handyman: The error code indicates a heating element fault.
canuck the pro: Handyman: I have found that often when this happens it is a shorted element connector.
canuck the pro: Handyman: The ends of the element go through the bottom of the dishwasher and there is a nut on the bottom that tightens to seal it.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Often one of those gaskets will develop a very small leak and the water will drip on the connector and short it out.
canuck the pro: Handyman: You would have to remove the dishwasher, turn it over and inspect the element connectors.
canuck the pro: Handyman: The connector is a generic part so you can just remove the connector and match it up at any hardware store.
