# Monogram dishwasher error code C3

### What C3 means, in the maker’s own words

The dishwasher will not drain. Blunter than C1 and C2: the water is not leaving at all, and the machine has given up rather than reporting a slow time. On a fully integrated machine this is displayed on the TOP EDGE of the door, which is only visible when the door is open. Most owners have never seen it.

### Where this code actually appears

On the control panel, and usually with a sound. Monogram describes their refrigerator codes as flashing green on the display and typically accompanied by a beeping, and the range, microwave and dishwasher tables all describe codes you can read from the front of the appliance. That is the opposite of some makes, where the number is written into a hidden log and never shown — here, if something is wrong, the appliance generally tells you. Photograph what it says before cutting the power, because a reset erases it and the code is most of the diagnosis.

### Which machines this one applies to

Monogram fully integrated dishwashers. Monogram says plainly on their own range and oven table that they cannot list every code for every model past and present, so a code missing from their table is not proof that your appliance cannot raise it — and a code in it is not proof that yours can. The model number settles it.

### What to do about it

- Disconnect the power at the breaker for about thirty seconds and reset the machine. That is the manufacturer’s own first step.
- Clean the filter, then check the air gap, the drain hose and the disposer connection.
- Look for the knockout plug if a disposer has ever been replaced in this kitchen.
- If it persists after the reset and the path is clear, the drain pump or the control is next, and that is a visit.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [dishwasher drain repair](/services/dishwasher-drain-repair/), and every one of those pages carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 614-3572](tel:+13056143572) and describe what the display is doing before booking anything.
