To start a wash cycle, first load the dishwasher and add detergent. Then, close the door and select the desired wash program using the program selection buttons. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Ensure the filter is clean and that there is no debris obstructing the drain pump. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer service.
To clean the filter, remove the bottom rack to access the filter assembly. Turn the filter counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse the filter under running water to remove debris, then replace it by aligning and turning it clockwise until secure.
Unusual noises may result from items in the dishwasher touching each other or being improperly loaded. Ensure that dishes are securely placed and not blocking the spray arms. Also, check for loose items in the filter area.
Regularly clean the filter, check and clean the spray arms, and wipe down the door seals. Also, run a cleaning cycle with dishwasher cleaner monthly to prevent lime scale and grease buildup.
To reset the dishwasher, turn off the appliance by pressing the On/Off button. Wait for a few seconds, then turn it back on. You can also unplug the dishwasher from the power outlet for a manual reset.
Ensure that the dishwasher is not overloaded and that dishes are properly arranged. Check the spray arms for clogs and make sure the detergent dispenser is not blocked. Use the recommended amount of detergent for your water hardness level.
Open the rinse aid dispenser located on the inside of the door. Turn the knob to adjust the setting, usually from 1 to 4, depending on the level of rinse aid needed. Higher settings are for harder water.
Check if the racks are correctly positioned and not overfilled. Inspect the door seals for any obstruction or damage. Ensure that no items are protruding out of the dishwasher that might block the door from closing.
It's not recommended to run the dishwasher without a water supply, as it may damage the appliance. Wait until the water supply is restored before using the dishwasher.
