GUIDANCE

Diagnostic overview for error C2

Use the sequence meaning → symptoms → accessible checks → stop conditions. For C2, the current manufacturer-sourced summary is: GE identifies C2 when the complete pump-out cycle runs longer than seven minutes; the control can be reset to stop the alert, but recurring slow drainage needs model-specific service.

Safe sequence

  1. 1Press the documented RESET control to stop the alert.
  2. 2Turn off power and inspect the visible drain hose for kinks.
  3. 3Confirm the air gap and disposer connection are clear.

Stop and get qualified help when

  • The dishwasher will not drain at all
  • The alert returns after accessible drain checks
