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.
Make sure to close the door
properly and latch it.
Check the drain hose.
Check coarse the filter.
Check the kitchen sink to make sure
it is draining well. If the problem is
the kitchen sink that is not draining ,
you may need a plumber rather than
a serviceman for dishwashers.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water
to the bottom of the dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then select
any cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will
drain out the water. Open the door
after draining stage is complete and
check if the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.
