Error code C2
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

C2 on Kenmore 363 electronic control dishwashers means the drain cycle ran over 7 minutes. Blockages in the sink drain, hose or pump are the manual's focus.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so C2 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

The drain time exceeded 7 minutes.

C2 on a Kenmore 363 dishwasher

When a Kenmore 363 electronic control dishwasher takes more than 7 minutes to drain, the display reads C2. It is the longer-wait sibling of C1.

Owner steps

  • Remove any clog sitting in the sink drain.
  • Unplug the machine and take clogs out of the dishwasher drain hose.
  • Put in a new drain hose if the old one is damaged.
  • Look the drain pump over. A clogged pump needs clearing, and a damaged one needs replacing.

Compare with

A shorter delay is reported as C1, while C3 covers a dishwasher that will not drain. C4 is about the tub filling too far.
