THERE IS WATER LEFT IN DISHWASHER
If the dishwasher is taking in too much water, the drainage pump starts automatically. If the water, in spite of this, is not
drained off, it might depend on any of the following reasons:
THE FILTER IS CLOGGED: Lift out the coarse strainer and empty it. Place back in dishwasher before starting.
THE PUMP IS BLOCKED: Pieces of bone or other foreign particles might be stuck in the drainage pump.
(See "How to Clean the Drain Pump").
THE DRAIN HOSE IS CLOGGED (BLOCKED):
Check to make sure that there are not obstacles in the hose
where it connects to the water. Foreign particles can get
stuck in the entrance of the connection line. Also, check to
make sure that the cone-shaped connection line has been
cut to an inner diameter of at least 3/4" (1.9 cm).
THE DRAIN HOSE IS KINKED:
Check to make sure that there are no folds or sharp bends
in the drain hose.
AIR GAP: If the machine is equipped with an air gap, see
page 11. Be sure the air gap is not blocked or
plugged.
THE DISHWASHER DOES NOT START:
• Make sure the dishwasher is turned on and the door is closed
securely.
• Make sure the DELAY option is not turned on.
• Check that the water supply is connected properly and the water is
turned on.
• Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the wall socket.
• Check your fuse box for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
