Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dishwasher Fails to Operate Fill Valve Correctly**
This issue prevents the machine from operating as the fill valve does not work correctly, leading to a drain sequence being initiated. Turn off the water and power to the unit, and consult a professional service -
**Motor Controller Failure**
If this failure occurs, the dishwasher cycle will end prematurely. This issue generally requires professional service to resolve -
**No Water Present at Dishwasher**
The cycle is paused because no water is detected. Ensure the fill hose is properly connected, and the water supply is turned on. If the problem persists, service may be needed -
**User Interface Service Communication Fault**
This fault means the product will not start or resume cycles due to a communication issue within the user interface. Professional service is often required to fix this problem -
**Dishwasher Overfills**
The machine may begin a drain sequence to prevent further operation due to overfilling. Check connections and for leaks, and if unresolved, service may be required
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent damaging the finish.
- Regularly use a dishwasher cleaning product to prevent white spots or residues inside the dishwasher. A monthly use of a cleaner like affresh® is recommended.
- For removing mineral deposits, place 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack, then run a complete washing cycle without detergent.
- Clean your dishwasher’s filter periodically, based on usage frequency. For example, every two months if the dishwasher is used 8–12 times a week, or less frequently with fewer uses.
- Ensure you maintain the salt reservoir to keep the water softening system functional, especially in areas with hard water.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the "Normal" cycle for everyday use, as this cycle is optimized for energy efficiency and is used for energy certification.
- Always use a rinse aid during cycles to enhance drying efficiency; this reduces the need for additional energy-consuming drying options.
- If you have hard water, ensure the dishwasher's built-in water softener is activated and properly filled with salt to enhance washing efficiency.
- Schedule washing during off-peak hours using the "Delay" option to potentially take advantage of lower energy rates if your utility provider offers this.
- Avoid pre-rinsing dishes, as modern dishwashers are designed to handle food residues directly, conserving water and energy.
- Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use.
- Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
- Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot-water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If this system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot-water faucets and let the water flow for several minutes to release any accumulated hydrogen gas. Do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
- Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. If in doubt about whether the appliance is properly grounded, check with a qualified electrician or service person.
