TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Before Calling For Service
Reviewing the charts on the following pages may save you from calling for service.
Problem Possible Causes What To Do
Dishwasher doesn't
start
Fuse blown, or the
circuit break tripped.
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker.
Remove any other appliances sharing
the same circuit with the dishwasher.
Power supply is not
turned on.
Make sure the dishwasher is turned on
and the door is closed securely. Make
sure the power cord is properly plugged
into the wall socket.
Check that the water supply is
connected properly and the water
is turned on.
Make sure to close the door
properly and latch it.
Water not
pumped from
dishwasher
Twisted or trapped
drain hose.
Filter clogged.
Kitchen sink clogged.
Check the drain hose.
Check the coarse filter.
Check the kitchen sink to make sure it
is draining well. If the problem is the
kitchen sink that is not draining, you
may need a plumber rather than a
serviceman for dishwashers.
Suds in the tub Wrong detergent.
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to
the bottom of the dishwasher. Close the
dishwasher door, then select any cycle.
Initially, the dishwasher will drain out
the water. Open the door after draining
stage is complete and check if the suds
have disappeared. Repeat if necessary.
Water pressure is low.
Door of dishwasher is
not properly closed.
