Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so 1C1C may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
On KitchenAid appliances, 1C1C is a manufacturer diagnostic / fault code. Exact meaning varies by model series — confirm against your appliance documentation. Exact fault text varies by KitchenAid model and Whirlpool-family control generation. Always confirm against your model’s use & care guide or tech sheet.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
The exact symptoms depend on the specific control platform.
The code may appear during operation without identifying one universal component.
Model and serial information are essential before any parts decision.
Why it happens
Possible causes
A platform-specific diagnostic condition documented only in the model tech sheet.
A wiring, sensor, actuator, or control issue depending on the exact code map.
A false assumption caused by applying another appliance family's code definition.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Confirm the appliance has stable power
Check for visible blockages or obstructions
Record the full model number
Record the full model and serial numbers before contacting a technician
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
Please avoid
What not to attempt
Do not open internal panels or access high-voltage components
Do not bypass door locks, safety switches or interlocks

When to call a technician
If the safe checks do not resolve the condition, schedule an independent KitchenAid appliance diagnosis. Provide the full model number and a photo of the 1C1C display so the technician can start with the correct model-specific code map.

For the record covered by this page, 1C1C relates to model-dependent dishwasher diagnostic code. Confirm the exact definition against the full model number before ordering parts or authorizing an internal repair.
You can correct an obvious external condition and use the normal owner-approved restart or acknowledgement procedure. If the same code returns, clearing the display again does not repair the cause.
Only if the condition is clearly a normal status/maintenance indication and the appliance is operating normally. Stop using it for smoke, burning odor, arcing, repeated breaker trips, uncontrolled heating, gas odor, active leakage near electrical parts, or a significant loss of refrigeration.
No. The code identifies a condition or diagnostic path. Model-specific testing should confirm the failed component before parts are ordered.
