TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
1) Dishwasher
doesn’t run • Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped.
• Power supply is not turned on.
• Water pressure is low.
• Replace fuse or reset circuit
breaker.
• Make sure dishwasher is turned on
and door is closed. Plug in cord
securely.
• Check that water supply is connected
and the water is turned on.
2) Drain pump
doesn’t stop • Overflow • The system is designed to detect an
overflow. When it does, it shuts off the
circulation pump and turns on the drain
pump.
3) Noise • Some audible sounds are normal.
• Utensils are not secure in basket /
something small dropped into basket.
• Motor hums.
• Sound from soft food shredding
action and detergent cup opening.
• Ensure everything is secured in the
dishwasher.
• If you do not use often, dishwasher
may hum- remember to fill and pump
out appliance every week to keep the
seal moist.
4) Suds in the tub • Improper detergent.
• Spilled rinse agent.
• Use only dishwasher detergent to
avoid suds. If suds are present, open
the door and let suds evaporate.
• Always wipe rinse agent spills
immediately.
5) Dishes are not

dispener is filled.
6) Dishes and
flatware are not

penser and spray arms are not blocked
by large dishware.

Water Spots from Dishes” pg 3.
7) Detergent left in
dispenser cups • Dishes blocking detergent cups. • Re-load the dishes properly.
8) Waterstanding
in the bottom of
the tub
• This is normal. • Asmall amount of clean water around
the outlet on the tub button at the back
of the tub keeps the water seal
lubricated.
9) Waterdoesn’t
pump out of the
