What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.

What they doUse a qualified installer or appliance technician to repair a leak or recurring LC or LE condition.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Shut off water and power
Close the dishwasher water-supply valve and turn the dishwasher circuit breaker off before inspecting for moisture.
The dishwasher may try to run its drain pump while the leakage code is active.
