Error codeCL / Cd
ApplianceDishwasher
Quick answer
CL, also shown as Cd, means the door has not been closed and latched. The owner support guide says to check the door.
Model compatibility: Electrolux reuses codes across series and model years, so CL / Cd 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
CL (also shown as Cd) means the door is open or not fully closed and latched.
What CL and Cd mean
An Electrolux dishwasher shows CL, or Cd, when the door has not been successfully closed and latched. The wording is from the Electrolux owner support guide for US dishwashers.
What to do
Make sure the door is closed and latched. Once that works, the code turns off by itself. If the door cannot be closed, the guide says service should be contacted to check and repair it.
Los Angeles owners can reach Electrolux dishwasher service at (310) 361-3405; details are on the Electrolux dishwasher repair page. Give the display code, the model number and what you have already tried.
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.
