Cove Dishwasher Error Code 800115

Error code 800115 means the dishwasher's pressure sensor has detected that the unit is not draining properly. The sensor monitors the water level in the tub and triggers this fault when water fails to evacuate as expected during a drain cycle. The issue is typically located somewhere along the drain path, from the sump and drain pump through the hose and into the sink or garbage disposal connection.

It is not recommended to continue running the dishwasher while this error is present. If water is not draining correctly, running additional cycles can cause water to accumulate in the tub and potentially overflow onto the floor. Resolving the drain issue before resuming use will prevent water damage and protect the appliance.

If the cause is a blocked air gap, kinked hose, or an unremoved disposal knockout plug, the repair can often be done at no cost beyond your time. If a service technician is needed to diagnose and clear a drain hose blockage or sump obstruction, labor costs typically fall in the range of $100 to $200. Replacing a failed drain pump, if that is the root cause, generally adds $150 to $350 in parts and labor depending on your location and service provider.

Start by checking the air gap on your sink for blockages and clear it if needed. Next, verify that the knockout plug has been removed from your garbage disposal inlet if the disposal is new. Inspect the drain hose for kinks or clogs and confirm it is routed with a proper high loop. If those steps do not resolve the error, the drain pump sump area may need to be inspected for debris or the pump itself may need to be tested or replaced.

A power reset may temporarily clear the error code, but the fault will return if the underlying drain obstruction or installation problem has not been corrected. The pressure sensor will detect the same draining failure on the next cycle and trigger the code again. The drain path must be physically inspected and corrected for the error to stay resolved.
