  If your Glen Dimplex Dishwasher doesn't start, several factors could be the reason. First, check the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it. Ensure no other appliances share the same circuit. Second, verify the dishwasher is turned on, the door is securely closed, and the power cord is properly plugged in. Third, check that the water supply is correctly connected and turned on. Finally, ensure the dishwasher door is properly closed and latched.

Why are there suds in my Glen Dimplex GDW14S-2?

  Robert ParsonsAug 27, 2025
  If you notice suds in the tub of your Glen Dimplex Dishwasher, it could be due to using the wrong detergent. Use only special dishwasher detergent to avoid this. If suds occur, open the dishwasher and let them evaporate. Then, add 1 gallon of cold water to the bottom of the dishwasher, close the door, and select any cycle to drain the water. Check if the suds have disappeared after draining and repeat if needed. Also, if you spilled rinse-aid, always wipe it up immediately.
