  Shawn BeasleyAug 19, 2025
  If your STATESMAN Dishwasher isn't starting, several factors could be the cause. First, check if a fuse has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped; replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Also, ensure the dishwasher is turned on, the door is securely closed and latched, and the power cord is properly plugged into the wall socket. Low water pressure could also be the issue, so verify that the water supply is correctly connected and turned on. Remove any other appliances sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher.

  If your dishes aren't clean after a cycle in your STATESMAN Dishwasher, several things could be happening. Make sure the dishes are loaded correctly, as described in 'RECOMMENDED LOADING OF RACKS'. The selected program may not be powerful enough, so try a more intensive one. Also, ensure you're using enough detergent, or consider changing brands. Check that items aren't blocking the spray arms and that the filter combination is clean and correctly fitted. Clean the spray arm jets if necessary.

  If water isn't being pumped out of your STATESMAN Dishwasher, start by checking the drain hose to ensure it isn't twisted or trapped. Next, inspect the coarse filter for any clogs.

  If your dishes aren't drying in your STATESMAN Dishwasher, consider these potential causes: improper loading (load the dishwasher as suggested in the directions), removing dishes too soon (open the door slightly for steam to escape and unload when cool, starting with the lower basket), selecting the wrong program (choose a program with a longer washing time), or using cutlery with a low-quality coating (these items aren't suitable for dishwashers).

  If you find suds in the tub of your STATESMAN Dishwasher, it's likely due to using the wrong detergent; only use designated dishwasher detergent. If this happens, open the dishwasher and let the suds evaporate. Another cause could be spilt rinse-aid, so always wipe up any spills immediately.
