To start a wash cycle, first load your dishes and add detergent. Close the door securely, select the desired program using the program selector knob, and press the start button. The cycle will begin, and the indicator light will illuminate.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Ensure the sink's drain is not blocked. Clean the dishwasher's filter and pump area. If the problem persists, there may be an issue with the drain pump that requires professional service.
To clean the filter, remove the lower rack and locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Turn it counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse it under running water and use a soft brush to remove debris. Reinstall the filter by placing it back and turning it clockwise to lock it in place.
Ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely and are not clogged. Check that the dishwasher is not overloaded and that dishes are properly arranged. Verify that the correct amount of detergent is being used and that the water temperature is sufficiently hot (around 120°F/49°C).
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the indicator lights flash. Release the button and the dishwasher will reset. If it doesn't reset, try unplugging the appliance for a few minutes and then plug it back in.
Regularly clean the filter and spray arms, check and clean the door seals, and ensure the detergent dispenser is free of residue. Run an empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner monthly to maintain performance. Inspect hoses for leaks or wear every few months.
Check if the door seal is intact and clean. Ensure that the dishwasher is level and not overfilled. Inspect the hose connections for any leaks. If the problem persists, the door latch or gasket might need replacing. Professional service might be required.
Open the dishwasher door and locate the rinse aid dispenser. Turn the dispenser cap to adjust the setting. Higher numbers dispense more rinse aid. Close the cap securely after adjustment.
Bad odors can result from food debris accumulation. Clean the filter, spray arms, and door seals regularly. Run an empty cycle with dishwasher cleaner or vinegar to eliminate odors. Ensure dishes are rinsed before loading to prevent food buildup.
No, you should only use dishwasher-specific detergents. Regular dish soap can produce excessive suds, leading to overflow and possible damage to the dishwasher. Always use the recommended type of detergent.
