To reset the Brandt DFH13526B dishwasher, unplug the appliance from the power source, wait for about 5 minutes, and then plug it back in. This action will reset the control panel and clear any temporary glitches.
Check the drain hose for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the filter is clean and not clogged. You should also inspect the garbage disposal and air gap for obstructions.
Remove the lower dish rack to access the filter. Twist the filter counterclockwise and pull it out. Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush to remove any debris. Reinstall the filter by placing it back and turning it clockwise until it locks.
Unusual noises can be due to items touching the spray arms. Ensure dishes are properly loaded and not obstructing the spray arms. Additionally, check for any loose items within the dishwasher that could be causing the noise.
Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent, either in tablet, powder, or gel form. Avoid using regular dish soap as it can cause excessive sudsing and potentially damage the dishwasher.
Run an empty dishwasher cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or place a cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher-safe container on the top rack. Use the hottest water setting to ensure thorough cleaning.
Ensure that you are using a rinse aid to help prevent spots. Also, check if the water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C) for optimal cleaning performance. Consider using a water softener if you have hard water.
Ensure that the rinse aid dispenser is full, as rinse aid aids in the drying process. Additionally, select a drying option on the control panel if available, and allow the dishes to sit for a while after the cycle ends to let residual heat aid in drying.
Regularly clean the filter and check the spray arms for clogs. Wipe the door gasket to prevent mold build-up. Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner monthly and inspect the hoses for any signs of wear or leaks.
Refer to the user manual for specific error code meanings. Common solutions include checking water supply, ensuring the door is closed properly, and resetting the dishwasher. If the error persists, consult a professional technician.
