What To Do
Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other
appliances sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher.
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.
The system is designed to detect an overflow. When it
does, it shuts off the circulation pump and turns on the
drain pump.
Sound from detergent cup opening.
To ensure everything is secured in the dishwasher
Dishwasher has not been used regularly. If you do not
use it often, remember to set it to fill and pump out
every week, which will help keep the seal moist.
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 tub. Close
and latch the dishwasher, then start the "pre-rinse" wash
cycle to drain out the water... Repeat if necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Make sure that the detergent is the one without colorant.
Select a stronger programme.
Make sure that the action of the detergent dispenser
and spray arms are not blocked by large dishware.
To remove spots from glassware:
1 Take out all metal utensils out of the dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Choose the longest cycle.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow it to run for about
18 to 22 minutes, then it will be in the main wash.
5 Open the door to pour 2 cups of white vinegar
into the bottom of the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and let the dishwasher complete
the cycle. If the vinegar does not work: Repeat
as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml)of citric acid
crystals instead of vinegar.
