C7 on a GE dishwasher means the water temperature sensor circuit has become inoperative; a breaker reset is the owner step.
Model compatibility: GE 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.
Plain language
What this code means
The water temperature sensor circuit has become inoperative.
C7 reports that the dishwasher’s water temperature sensor circuit has become inoperative.
What the owner can do
Disconnect power at the circuit breaker for about 30 seconds, then reset the dishwasher. If the problem persists, contact service.
Not the same as C6
C6 says the water itself is too cold. C7 concerns the sensor circuit. Two other codes in the same family are C8 for a blocked detergent cup and LEAK DETECTED for a possible leak.
