Error Codes (tCL): Troubleshooting, Fixes & Prevention Tips explained below.

What Does Tub Clean Reminder Mean❓

The Tub Clean Reminder is a maintenance alert that notifies you it’s time to clean the interior of your dishwasher. Over time, grease, food residue, and mineral buildup can accumulate inside the tub, spray arms, and filters. This buildup can affect cleaning performance, create unpleasant odors, and even reduce appliance lifespan. The reminder typically appears after a set number of cycles and is meant to encourage routine cleaning for optimal results. It does not indicate a malfunction.
