Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dishwasher Does Not Run or Stops During a Cycle
** This can happen if there's a power issue, such as a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Make sure the door is securely closed and latched, the right cycle is selected, and the water supply is on -
**Dishes Do Not Dry Completely
** Often caused by not using a rinse aid or not selecting the Heated Dry option. Proper loading and ensuring a high water temperature can improve drying results -
**Wash Pump Failures
** The wash pump might not pump due to a seized motor, open windings, or connectivity issues in the circuit. Diagnostic checks can confirm the exact fault -
**Dishwasher Does Not Drain
** This could be due to a blocked drain hose or a malfunctioning drain pump. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose and that food waste obstructions are cleared -
**Spotting/Filming on Dishes
** This is often due to hard water. Using an appropriate amount of detergent and a rinse aid can mitigate this issue. Regular cleaning with vinegar can also help clear mineral deposits
