Solution
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
Make sure to close the
door properly and latch it
Check the drain hose
Check coarse the 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
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.
Always wipe up rinse-aid
spills immediately
