# Cove Error 800115: drain line setup on a dish care machine

Cove's own manual ties this alert to three installation details in sequence: the drain line and air gap being clear of debris, a garbage-disposal knockout plug that may still be in place, and the drain line running higher than the stated limit above the appliance floor.

## What Error 800115 actually means.

Cove's own manual ties this alert to three installation details in sequence: the drain line and air gap being clear of debris, a garbage-disposal knockout plug that may still be in place, and the drain line running higher than the stated limit above the appliance floor. All three are set at the hookup, not parts that wear out.

Cove appliance display

What to do when Error 800115 shows on the appliance

### Kind of code Water supply and drain

The new appliance is reporting what it gets from the water connections behind it. A no-water or slow-fill message on the first fill usually means the supply valve is still closed or only half open, or the new line kinked when the unit slid back; a drain message means the drain hose is pinched, pushed too deep into the standpipe, or looped higher or lower than the installation instructions allow. Open the valve fully, straighten the hose, set it to the height the manual gives, and run the cycle again.

### Usually leads to Water supply and shutoff connection

New supply lines from a working quarter-turn stop to each water appliance, tested under pressure.

### Shows up as Drain Backing Up After an Install: Plug, Loop and Standpipe

A drain backing up after an install leaves water standing in a new machine, pushes it into the sink or spills it over the top of the standpipe.

### Make Cove

Cove makes dishwashers only, so every Cove install is a dish care job: the drain, the supply, the mounting and a panel that matches the cabinets.

### Source Cove US dishwasher use and care guide, document cv_dw_ucg_0524

Confirmed in Cove's US dishwasher use-and-care guide (document cv_dw_ucg_0524).

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Cove's own guidance for Error 800115 on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check that the drain line and air gap, if the model has one, are clear of debris.

02

Confirm the garbage disposal's knockout plug was removed before the drain line was connected to it.

03

Measure the drain line's height and confirm it does not exceed roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) above the dishwasher floor, per Cove's own manual.

04

If all three checks are already correct, book a visit so the lower spray arm and filter can be checked for blockage.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [water supply and shutoff connection](https://applianceinstallation.center/services/water-supply-and-shutoff-connection/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

This alert does not automatically mean the drain pump has failed. Cove's own manual leads with three installation checks before anything mechanical.

## In Cove's own words

> Verify the waste disposal is not clogged and the knock out (if applicable) was removed.

## Questions about Error 800115.

### Can I clear Error 800115 myself?

Check that the drain line and air gap, if the model has one, are clear of debris. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### I checked the drain line and it looks clear. What else could cause Error 800115?

Cove's own manual lists the knockout plug and the drain line's height as separate checks from a clear drain line and air gap, so both are worth confirming even if the line itself looks fine.

### How do I know if the garbage disposal's knockout plug was removed?

It's a small plug inside the disposal's drain port that has to be knocked out before a dishwasher drain line is connected to it; if it was never removed, water has nowhere to go once it reaches that connection.

### What's the maximum height Cove allows for the drain line?

Cove's own manual states the drain line should not exceed roughly 4 feet (1.2 m) above the dishwasher floor.
