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 the filter system.
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 liter 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.
