Home Fault Codes

Whirlpool dishwasher codes

A dishwasher reports its fault in the display window, or by blinking a cycle light a set number of times with a pause between groups. Count the blinks and pauses before opening the door. Whirlpool-family codes are usually read as a letter and number pair, with an E sub-code after it.

Models covered: GU980SCGB2, GU980SCGQ2, GU980SCGQ3, GU940SCGQ2, GU940SCGB2, DU943PWKQ0, GU1200XTKB0, GU980SCGB3.

About Whirlpool codes

Whirlpool is the parent platform for Maytag, KitchenAid and Amana, so many of its control boards and fault codes reappear across those brands. Its panels typically report two-part codes such as F5 E2 or flash sequences on the keypad. The codes apply to model numbers such as GU980SCGB2, GU980SCGQ2 and GEW9200LW0; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.
