What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other
appliances sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher.
Make sure the dishwasher is turned on and the door is
closed securely. Make sure the power cord is properly
plugged into the wall socket.
Check that the water supply is connected properly and
the water is turned on.
The system is designed to detect an overflow. When it
does, it shuts off the circulation pump and turns on the
drain pump.

To ensure everything is secured in the dishwasher.
Dishwasher has not been used regularly. If you do not
use it often, remember to set it to fill and pump out
every week, which will help keep the seal moist.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Make sure that the detergent is the one without colorant.
Select a stronger programme.
Make sure that the action of the detergent dispenser
and spray arms are not blocked by large dishware.
To remove spots from glassware:
1 Take out all metal utensils out of the dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Choose the longest cycle.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow it to run for about
18 to 22 minutes, then it will be in the main wash.
5 Open the door to pour 2 cups of white vinegar
into the bottom of the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and let the dishwasher complete
the cycle. If the vinegar does not work: Repeat
as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml)of citric acid
crystals instead of vinegar.

Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups of
warm water to remove the stains by hand.
WARNING
You have to wait for 20 minutes after a cycle to let the
heating elements cool down before cleaning interior;
otherwise, burns will happen.
You have to call a water softener company for a special
filter.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with
dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never
use any other cleaner than dishwasher detergent for the
risk of foaming or suds.
Clean the detergent from the catch.
Re-loading the dishes properly.
There is some steam coming through the vent by the
door latch during drying and water draining.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate those marks.
A small amount of clean water around the outlet on
the tub bottom keeps the water seal lubricated.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead
to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher is level.
