Electrolux dishwasher CL / Cd code
ErrorCL / Cd
CL / Cd is described by Electrolux support as door is open or not successfully latched. Exact checks and component access vary by model and region.
What the code means

Typical symptoms
01CL / Cd appears on the display or through the appliance indicator pattern

02A model-specific condition must be confirmed in the official manual
Safe next steps
- 1Check that the dishwasher door is fully closed
- 2Remove any object preventing the door from closing and latching
- 3Close the door without forcing it
- 4Start the cycle once after the code clears
- 5Arrange Electrolux service if the door cannot close or latch normally
Step-by-step repair
- 1Electrolux identifies CL/Cd as a door that has not successfully closed and latched. Remove only an obvious obstruction, close the door fully without forcing it, and start once after the code clears. If the latch will not close normally, arrange service; do not bypass or repair the lock from the code alone.
