What CL / Cd Means

CL or Cd means the door is open: the door has not been successfully closed and latched, Electrolux’s owner guide explains. The EI24ID50Q guide adds that CL flashes when the door is opened during a wash cycle, and that it is not a problem with the dishwasher.

Common Causes of CL / Cd

  • Door not fully closed
  • Item in the racks blocking the door
  • Door latch worn

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Close the door firmly until it latches. Check that no rack, utensil or tall pan blocks it. If the door will not latch, Electrolux says to contact service for inspection.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • A latch that will not catch needs replacing inside the door.
  • The door switch is part of the latch assembly.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
