Troubleshooting

Caution

-Do not forget that repairs should be carried out by a qualified specialist. Improper repairs can lead to considerable equipment damage, as well as danger to the user.

-The dishwasher must first be disconnected from the electricity supply before any repairs or other work can be carried out. Switch off at the mains socket and water supply and remove the plug.

Not only does this save costs but it also means the appliance is available for use again that much sooner.
