What AP means

AP on Dacor Modernist and Contemporary dishwashers such as the DDW24M999US, DDW24M999UM, DDW24T998US and DDW24T999BB is not an error. It tells you the dishwasher is ready to connect with a smart phone through the iQ Control feature. The display shows AP while it waits for the phone to pair, and the dishwasher keeps working normally for regular cycles once pairing finishes or you leave the mode.

Common causes of AP

iQ Control pressed and held, which starts pairing
The dishwasher waiting for the phone app to connect
A pairing attempt left unfinished

✓ One safe check you can try

1. To connect a phone, press and hold the iQ Control button, as the owner's manual describes. 2. Open the app on your phone and follow its prompts. 3. If you did not mean to start pairing, wait for the display to return to normal or start a regular cycle. 4. If AP stays and the dishwasher will not run, schedule service.

! Why to stop there

Whether the dishwasher stays stuck in pairing mode
Whether the wireless module or control needs testing
Whether the home network is the real cause

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

APAP questions

Is AP a problem with my dishwasher?

No. AP means the dishwasher is waiting to connect to your phone. It is a normal status, so no repair is needed unless the dishwasher stops working or stays on AP.

How do I connect my phone?

Press and hold the iQ Control button on the dishwasher, then follow the steps in the phone app. The owner's manual describes this pairing for these Dacor models.

What if AP will not go away?

Try starting a normal cycle first. If the display stays on AP and the dishwasher does not respond, call us or use the online form, and we will confirm a three-hour arrival window.
