Thermador Dishwasher Control Fault
Dishwasher Control Fault is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Water at roughly 16 grains per gallon
This is among the hardest municipal supply in the country, and anything plumbed accumulates mineral far faster than the manual assumes.
A specific failed component rather than the whole unit
Most single-symptom issues trace back to one part, not a systemic failure.
Wear on parts that see the most daily use
Moving parts and seals typically fail before electronic or structural components.
Local conditions that matter here
Las Vegas water runs about 16 grains per gallon — genuinely hard, and among the hardest municipal supplies in the country. Anything plumbed here accumulates mineral faster than the manual assumes: fill valves narrow, heating elements fur, and output tapers off over months rather than stopping outright.
