GE Dishwasher · Code C7

GE Dishwasher C7 code: Temperature sensor circuit fault

The circuit for the dishwasher's water temperature sensor has stopped working, so the control can't tell how hot the water is.

Most common causes

  1. Failed temperature sensor (thermistor)
  2. Loose or damaged sensor wiring
  3. Control board fault

What you can safely check yourself

  1. Turn off the dishwasher's power (breaker or plug) for 30 seconds, then turn it back on and run a cycle.

Unplug the appliance before moving or cleaning anything. Do not open panels, touch gas connections or bypass safety switches.
