How to fix the i60 code
Unplug the dishwasher or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.
Step 1: Reset the dishwasher
Press Cancel, or switch it off at the breaker for 5 minutes. Then run a normal cycle.
Step 2: Run hot water first
Run the kitchen tap until the water is hot before starting a cycle, so the heater has less work to do.
Step 3: Check the results
If dishes come out cold, wet or poorly cleaned and i60 returns, the heating system needs service.
Parts that may need replacing
Check your model number on the label inside the door or on the back before ordering.

Common questions
›Can I keep using the dishwasher with i60?
It may still run, but the water may not heat. Dishes can come out cold and wet, and cleaning gets worse.
›Is i60 caused by my water heater?
Rarely. The code points to the dishwasher's own heating system. Hot tap water helps, but it will not fix a failed part.
