Nothing is broken when AP appears
The panel shows AP while the appliance is being paired with the Dacor iQ Kitchen app. It is a mode message for the smartphone link and does not report a problem.
Where the message turns up
Modernist and Heritage dishwashers, models DDW24M99* and DDW24T99*
The 42-inch French door refrigerator DRF425300AP
Pairing, step by step
Dishwasher: while the control panel reads AP, press and hold iQ Control. That connects it to your phone.
Refrigerator: with AP on the display, press and hold the Fridge button for more than 5 seconds.
If it is a real warning
A genuine dishwasher alert looks different. Compare 3C (pump operation check), 4C (water supply check) and 5C (drain check).

Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so AP may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
AP signals smartphone-connection mode during app pairing and reports no fault.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
