Cove Dishwasher Error Code 980199

Error code 980199 means the dishwasher lost power while a wash cycle was running. The control board detected the interruption and paused the cycle, then logged this code when power returned. It is an informational status, not a component fault. The UIM will prompt you to resume or cancel the interrupted cycle.

Yes, resuming the cycle using the START prompt is safe. The control board retains the cycle state and picks up at the point where power was lost. If you have any concern about how long power was out and whether water temperature has cooled significantly, canceling and starting a fresh cycle is a reasonable alternative.

In most cases, error 980199 costs nothing to resolve because it is caused by an external power interruption rather than a failed component. If repeated occurrences point to a loose connection or faulty outlet, an electrician's service call to inspect and repair the supply wiring typically runs in the range of $75 to $200 depending on the scope of the repair.

Once power is restored, check that the UIM displays the message 'Wash cycle interrupted. START to resume. CANCEL to exit.' Press START to continue the cycle from where it paused, or press CANCEL to exit and clear the interrupted session. Following either prompt through to completion will clear the code.

Pressing CANCEL at the UIM prompt is the intended way to exit the interrupted cycle and return the unit to a ready state. A hard reset by cutting power at the breaker and restoring it may also clear the stored state, but using the UIM prompts as directed is the recommended approach since it gives you the option to resume the cycle.
