A shared label
Controller and floor guard appear together under one entry, and the manual does not say which of the two raised the code.
What can be done
Nothing for owners is printed. Turn the power off at the breaker in the meantime. A technician in manual test mode can press Delay to scroll through the stored error conditions one after another.
F8 is the data failure between the control and power boards.
Dishwasher repair for San Francisco customers
Dial (415) 687-5926 and give the F6 code with the dishwasher’s model number. Notes on what you observed are useful, and Dacor dishwasher repair shows what we work on in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
Model compatibility: Dacor reuses codes across series and model years, so F6 / F-6 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
F6 is listed as CONTROLLER/FLOOR GUARD, with no owner steps in the manual.
