Café CDT875P (CDT875P2NS1) Ultra Wash dishwasher with Dual Convection Ultra Dry: quick sheet

Covers: Café 24-inch hidden top-control CDT875P** with stainless tub: CDT875P2NS1 (stainless) plus Café matte finishes on the same base model (the digit/letter after P marks the finish). Sold approx. 2019-2024 (inferred from listings; retailers list it as no longer available). Built by GE Appliances, so GE dishwasher codes and the GE / GE Profile / Café dishwasher field service manual apply. Find the model/serial tag on the tub edge inside the door. Build-date reading from the serial is not stated here (not confirmed by two sources for this family); see the guide find-model-and-serial-number-on-any-appliance.

Single sourceBrands: Café, GE10 components

Top Café dishwasher of its generation: 16 place settings, 39 dBA, three racks, stainless tub, Wi-Fi, Sanitize, Ultra Wash (reversing quad-blade arms and side jets) and Dual Convection Ultra Dry (fan-driven). GE dishwashers of this generation report by display or light pattern depending on model: H2O (no fill), C1/C3 (drain), C6/C7 (water temperature / thermistor), C8 (detergent cup), PF (power failure, not a fault). Meanings vary by model; see the GE dishwasher codes and the GE / GE Profile / Café dishwasher field service manual. Not yet verified: Noise second source was only a listing title seen in search; electrical single-source; ENERGY STAR status conflicts between sources.

Safety first

  • Switch off the circuit (or unplug) and close the water supply before removing the kick plate or pulling the unit.
  • Hardwired units: open the junction box only with the breaker off and verified dead.
  • Water in the sump may be hot right after a cycle; the heating element stays hot for a while.
  • Live-voltage checks at the valve, pump, heater or board are caution work.
  • Watch for broken glass in the filter and sump.
  • Flood risk: keep towels down and confirm no leaks after reconnecting.

How it works

Tub and racks: stainless tall tub, three adjustable racks with a cutlery tray (Greentoe).

Pump and wash: inlet valve fills the sump; the wash pump feeds reversing quad-blade spray arms and side jets (Ultra Wash). Five cycles with Sanitize and delay start.

Filtration: manual-clean filter in the tub floor (GE family design; check the owner manual for the exact type).

Drying: Dual Convection Ultra Dry uses fans to move heated air through the tub; Greentoe lists no condensation-only drying.

Controls: hidden top controls with a status center light and Wi-Fi (SmartHQ app).

Diagnostic guides for this appliance

Guide · Dishwasher

Whirlpool family dishwashers: reading Clean-light flash codes, F#E# displays and the diagnostic cycle

Models with a display show the code as F#E#. Lights-only models blink one LED in two groups: the first group is the F (function) number, a short pause, then the E (error) number, then a long pause before it repeats. A diagnostic cycle on many of these controls is entered by pressing any three keys in a 1-2-3 order three times quickly, which lights all indicators and lets you run the cycle to watch each function.

GE appliances: reading and recalling fault codes on dishwashers and laundry

GE dishwashers with electronic controls show codes on the display (C1, H2O, PF and similar) or flash the Start/Reset light in counted groups on LED-only models. GE itself splits codes into ones the user can clear (delay, detergent cup, power failure, kinked hose) and ones that need service. GE laundry generations differ a lot: older top-loaders flash LEDs, front-loaders keep a stored-code list inside a test mode. Entry sequences vary between GE models and the sources disagree, so take them only from the model's tech sheet.

Frigidaire / Electrolux: diagnostic mode, last-fault recall and relay-test codes that are not faults

Newer Frigidaire/Electrolux dishwashers show i-codes (i10, i20, i50 and similar) and two-letter codes; during the relay test inside diagnostic mode they also show short codes that only confirm the test is running and are not faults. Front-load washers keep a last-code readout you reach with a button pair or knob position. Refrigerators lose the fault code when the plug is pulled. Entry sequences differ by model and the sources conflict, so get them from the service data sheet on the unit.
