      If the program doesn't start on your John Lewis Dishwasher, make sure the door is properly closed. Check that the main plug is correctly plugged in. Examine the household fuse box and replace the fuse if it has blown. If you've selected a delay start option, and you want to wash dishes immediately, cancel the delay start.

      If the indicator light is flashing and the display indicates that your John Lewis Dishwasher won't drain, the sink spigot might be blocked; therefore, clean out the sink spigot. Also, the water drain hose might not be correctly laid, or it could be bent or squashed, so check the water drain hose connection.

    Why is the indicator light flashing on my John Lewis JLDWW 1201 Dishwasher and it's not filling with water?

      If the indicator light of the program in progress is flashing and the digital display shows that your John Lewis Dishwasher isn't filling with water, several issues could be the cause. The water tap might be blocked or furred with limescale, so cleaning the water tap is a good first step. Ensure that the water tap is fully turned on. Also, the filter in the threaded hose fitting at the water inlet valve could be blocked, requiring cleaning. Finally, verify that the water inlet hose is correctly laid and not bent or squashed.

      If you notice water drops have dried onto glasses and dishes after a wash cycle in your John Lewis Dishwasher, try increasing the rinse aid dosing. In some cases, the detergent itself may be the cause. Contact the detergent manufacturer’s consumer care line for further assistance.

      If your dishes are not clean after a cycle in your John Lewis Dishwasher, several factors could be at play: * The wrong washing program may have been selected. * The dishes might have been arranged in a way that stopped water from reaching all surfaces, or the baskets may have been overloaded. * The spray arms might not be rotating freely due to incorrect loading. * The filters in the base of the washing compartment could be dirty or incorrectly positioned. * Too little or no detergent might have been used. * Limescale deposits may be present due to an empty salt container or an incorrect water softener level. * The drain hose connection may not be correct. * The salt container cap might not be properly closed.
