Published 2026-01-13 · Error & Fault Codes
A Cove dishwasher that leaves residue or film on dishes is usually not getting enough water flow to the spray arms. A clogged filter, blocked spray-arm jets, or low inlet pressure each reduce wash quality. We clean the arms and filter and confirm the inlet before looking further.
What We Check
Reading the sign is the start; testing confirms the part. Here is how we work this fault on Cove:
| Symptom | Likely Cause | What We Check |
|---|---|---|
| Leaking | A door seal, base leak, or hose connection | Inspect the seal, base pan, and fittings |
| Not starting | A door latch or control fault | Check the latch switch and control |
How We Fix It
- Dishes coming out with residue or film
- A cycle that will not start or latch
Other Cove signs we read on Cove include Not draining and Not cleaning well. See the full list and model lines on our Cove repair page.
Why It Matters
Standing water and leak codes are worth a prompt look, especially in homes with finished lower levels. We trace the real source, correct it, and confirm the machine drains fully before we leave.
What to Have Ready When You Book
Before the visit, jot down the model number and whatever the Cove is doing, including any code on the display. Repair timing depends on diagnosis and parts availability.
