Dacor DDW24T998US Dishwasher Repair

Dacor lists the DDW24T998US as a 24″ dishwasher. No series or date is on record for this model, so we keep our description to what is known and add nothing about features. The code entries for Modernist and Heritage 24-inch dishwashers apply to its group, which is why a code can help narrow the cause.

Codes in this group

For Modernist and Heritage 24-inch dishwashers the codes are 3C for a pump operation check, 5C for a drain check and HC for a high temperature heating check. PC is a zone wash function check, and LC reports a detected leak. The complete list is on the Dacor dishwasher error codes page.

How the install shapes the diagnosis

The unit sits under a counter, usually next to the sink, and runs on a water line, a drain connection and an electrical feed. A drain hose without a high loop, a sink that backs up or a disposal plug left in the connection can all show up as a drain complaint. Cabinets that settle in older houses can leave the front slightly off level, so the door closes unevenly and the seal leaks. We confirm the setting before assuming a part has failed.

Owner checks

1. Confirm the breaker and the valve under the sink are on.
2. Clear the filter and the drain screen.
3. Watch the door close and make sure the latch catches.
4. Note the code, then reset once at the breaker and see if it returns.

Do not open the kick plate or loosen hoses. If the machine smells burnt, turn off the breaker.
