Error code C7
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

C7 means the water temperature sensor is defective on a Kenmore 363 electronic control dishwasher. The manual starts with a 3-minute power reset.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so C7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
