Error code C7
Appliance Dishwasher

The sensor behind C7

C7 comes up on a Kenmore 363 electronic-control dishwasher whose water temperature sensor is defective.

Step one: reset

Pull the plug for 3 minutes so the control board resets, then plug the dishwasher back in.

Step two: if the code comes back

  • Cut power once more.
  • Tighten any slack wiring at the sensor.
  • Wiring tight but the fault still there: fit a new sensor.
  • Still failing after that: the control board is the next part to swap.

Neighboring codes

  • C6 describes water that is simply too cold.
  • C8 is a blocked detergent dispenser cover.
