What the 0C Error Means
The 0C error code generally indicates that the dishwasher has detected an overfill condition.
This means the appliance believes there is too much water inside the tub, which can happen if the dishwasher is unable to drain correctly or if the water level sensor detects abnormal readings.
Common Reasons This Error Appears

A clogged filter or drain hose may prevent water from leaving the dishwasher.
Water inlet valve problem
The inlet valve may allow too much water into the appliance.
Water level sensor fault
The sensor responsible for monitoring the water level may be malfunctioning.
Drain pump issue
If the drain pump is not operating correctly, water may remain inside the dishwasher.
