Why is my FAR LV12C47GZ17W Dishwasher not cleaning dishes properly?
- L
  Lisa WarrenAug 13, 2025
  There are several reasons why your dishes might not be getting clean. The dishes may not have been arranged properly, so please refer to “Loading the Baskets”. The selected washing program could be too gentle, in which case you should select a more intensive program, referring to “Washing Programmes”. You might not be using enough detergent or the detergent is unsuitable, so try using more or changing the detergent. The spray arms could be clogged, so rearrange the items so that the spray arms can rotate freely. Finally, the filters might not be clean or not in the correct position, so ensure you clean and correctly position the filters.

What to do if my FAR LV12C47GZ17W won't start?

  If your dishwasher won't start, it could be due to a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker, and remove any other appliance sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher. Also, ensure the power supply is on, the dishwasher is turned on, and the door is closed securely. A door that is not completely closed will also prevent the dishwasher from starting, so be sure to close the door properly.

Why are there streaks and straining on my FAR LV12C47GZ17W dishes?
- T
  Theodore ShawAug 20, 2025
  Streaking and straining on dishes can occur if the rinse aid dispenser setting is not high enough, so adjust the rinse aid dispenser setting. Improper loading can also cause this, so refer to “Loading the Baskets.” Finally, the rinse aid may have run out or too little is being used, so increase or refill the amount of rinse aid.

Why is my FAR LV12C47GZ17W so noisy?
- N
  Nicholas HinesAug 25, 2025
  A noisy dishwasher could be caused by dishes rattling against each other, so refer to “Loading the Baskets” to rearrange the dishes. The spray arm might be knocking against the dishes; again, refer to “Loading the Basket” to rearrange the dishes. Finally, the wrong program selection can also cause noise, so choose a program with a long washing time.

What to do if water is not pumped from FAR LV12C47GZ17W Dishwasher?
- D
  Daniel WarrenAug 27, 2025
  If water is not being pumped from your dishwasher, check the drain hose for any kinks. Also, the filter might be clogged, so check the filters (see “Cleaning the Filter Unit”). It's also worth checking if your kitchen sink is clogged, and if it is not draining well, you may need to ask a plumber to check it.

How to get rid of suds in my FAR LV12C47GZ17W tub?
- D
  Darren CampbellAug 31, 2025
  Suds in the tub can be caused by improper detergent. Use only detergent specially made for dishwashers to avoid suds. If suds occur, open the door and let them evaporate. Close the door securely, then start the soak wash cycle to drain the water out, repeating if necessary. Spilled rinse aid can also cause this, so always wipe up rinse aid spills immediately. Finally, using detergent with colourant can cause suds, so make sure the detergent does not contain any colourant.

How to remove white film from the inside of my FAR Dishwasher?
- M
  Michael HernandezSep 4, 2025
  A white film on the inside surface is often due to hard water minerals. To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never use any cleaner other than dishwasher detergent to avoid foaming or suds.

Why are there rust stains on my FAR LV12C47GZ17W cutlery?
- H
  hschmittSep 8, 2025
  Rust stains on cutlery can be caused by cutlery that is not corrosion resistant, so add dishwasher salt with no crockery in the dishwasher. Also, if no program has run after salt was added, always run the rapid washing program.
