Cove Dishwasher Error Code 570114

Error code 570114 corresponds to fault FLT2, which means the salt level in the built-in water softener regeneration tank is too low. The dishwasher uses this salt to regenerate its ion exchange resin and maintain effective water softening. This is a maintenance alert, not a mechanical failure. Adding dishwasher-specific salt and following the on-screen UIM instructions will typically clear the fault.

Operating the dishwasher with low softener salt will not cause immediate damage to dishes or create a safety hazard, but it does mean the water softening system is not functioning at full capacity. Over time, hard water can cause scale buildup on internal components and on dishes. It is best to refill the salt as soon as possible to maintain proper performance.

In most cases, the only expense is the cost of dishwasher water softener salt, which typically runs between $5 and $20 depending on the brand and quantity purchased. If the salt level sensor or float mechanism is found to be faulty and requires replacement, parts and labor costs could range from $75 to $200 or more depending on service rates in your area.

Open the salt reservoir compartment, located in the floor of the dishwasher tub, and refill it with dishwasher-grade water softener salt. Follow the step-by-step instructions shown on the User Interface Module display. Once the salt is added and the cap is securely replaced, run the dishwasher to allow the system to register the new salt level and clear the fault.

A simple power reset will not permanently clear error code 570114 because the underlying condition, low salt level, has not been corrected. The fault will return once the control board checks the salt level sensor again. The correct fix is to add the appropriate dishwasher-grade salt to the regeneration tank and follow the UIM prompts.
