Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dishes Not Getting Clean**
This can be caused by dishes being placed too closely together or the racks being overfilled, obstructing the spray arm rotation. Additionally, spray arm nozzles might be blocked or filters might be dirty or not correctly inserted -
**Dishwasher Not Draining**
If water remains at the bottom of the dishwasher, it might be due to a blocked filter system or a clogged area under the filters. Other causes include a kinked or blocked waste-water hose, or the drain pump being blocked -
**Detergent Not Dispensing**
This can happen if dishes block the detergent dispenser cover or if the detergent tab is placed incorrectly within the dispenser. Additionally, using detergent tabs in short or quick wash cycles can lead to incomplete dissolving of the detergent . -
**Error Codes**
Various error codes can appear on the display for different issues. Common ones include codes indicating a kinked supply hose, blocked filters, or voltage issues. Each error code usually has a specific cause and suggested remedial action -
**Water Leaks**
Leaks may be due to an improperly closed door, a defective door seal, or excess detergent causing overflow. Regular cleaning of the door seal and correct positioning of the dishwasher door can help prevent this issue .

- Select the “Half Load” option for smaller loads to reduce water and energy consumption by only washing items in the selected rack(s) .
- Regularly clean the filter system to maintain efficient water flow and avoid additional energy usage due to clogged filters .

- Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Only use the dishwasher as described in the manual for washing household dishware and kitchenware.
- Electrical shock or fire could result if the electrical supply is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher is improperly grounded. Ensure the electrical supply is correctly installed and the dishwasher is properly grounded.
- Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some bleach-based products can damage your dishwasher and present health hazards.
