What UP means

"UP" appears on the display and the machine waits, which looks like a problem but is not one. Thermador states outright that UP is not an error code. It means the dishwasher's software was updated, and the message only confirms that the update finished. Pressing a button dismisses it so the dishwasher can go back to normal.

Usual causes of UP

  • A software update that finished on the dishwasher's control
✓ A safe check worth trying

1. Do nothing to the plumbing or the power. 2. Press any program button on the control panel. 3. Check that the display clears and returns to its normal screen. 4. Start your usual cycle. No reset, breaker change or repair is involved.

! Why you should stop here
  • Thermador says plainly that nothing is wrong, so no repair is called for.
  • Opening panels or booking service would be a cost with nothing to fix.
Taking off a panel yourself does not by default void a manufacturer warranty, yet it can lead to accidental damage, and some manufacturers attach their own service terms. Read your warranty paperwork, or ask us, before you decide.

UPUP questions
Should I worry about seeing UP?

No. Thermador's documentation is clear that this is no error. It simply confirms the software update, and a button press clears it. Bring up anything unusual you noticed beforehand.

Will the update change how cycles run?

Thermador describes nothing beyond the notice itself. If you do see a difference in how a cycle runs afterward, tell us when you call so we can check.

What if the UP will not go away?

Press a program button once more, then switch the breaker off for thirty seconds. If it still stays on the display, we can look at the control.
