Electrolux Dishwasher Code iC3: Power and Motor Boards Not Talking

High · stop use, call now

Code: iC3
Appliance: Dishwasher
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What iC3 means

On Electrolux ICON dishwashers like the EI24CD35RS and EW24ID70QT, iC3 reports that the power board and the motor control board are not communicating. The motor control board runs the pumps, so without it the dishwasher cannot wash or drain correctly. The display shows iC3, the cycle stops, and you may hear no pump noise at all.

Common causes of iC3

Link between the power board and motor control board
Motor control board
Power board
Wiring harness connector

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel and close the door firmly. 2. Start a short cycle. 3. Listen for the pumps to start. 4. If iC3 shows again, stop and call us.

! Why to stop there

Since both boards are involved, we test the link before replacing either one.
We inspect the connectors for heat marks or loose pins.
We give you a price in writing before we begin, and the job comes with a 30-day warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

iC3iC3 questions

How is iC3 different from iC0?

iC0 is about the display board. iC3 is about the two boards that run the dishwasher, so the display can still work while the pumps are out.

Will the dishwasher drain with iC3?

Not reliably. The drain pump is controlled by the motor control board, so standing water can stay in the tub.

Can an older dishwasher still be fixed?

Yes. We repair older units and tell you honestly if the cost is more than the dishwasher is worth.
