To reset your Kenwood KDW1274W dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until the control panel lights flash. This should reset the dishwasher.
First, check the drain hose for any blockages or kinks. Ensure the filter and drain pump are clean and not obstructed. If the problem persists, it may require professional servicing.
To clean the filter, remove the bottom rack to access the filter at the base of the dishwasher. Twist it counterclockwise and pull out. Rinse it under running water to remove debris, then reinstall it by twisting clockwise.
Error code E4 on a Kenwood KDW1274W dishwasher indicates a water leak or overflow. Check for leaks around the dishwasher and ensure it is properly leveled. If necessary, contact customer service for assistance.
No, you should not use regular dish soap in the dishwasher as it can cause excessive suds and damage the machine. Use only detergents specifically designed for dishwashers.
It's recommended to clean the spray arms every 3-4 months. Remove them from the dishwasher and rinse under warm water, using a brush to clear any clogs in the nozzles.
For heavily soiled dishes, use the 'Intensive' cycle. It provides a higher temperature wash and longer duration to thoroughly clean tough stains and food residues.
Check for items like utensils or dish racks that might be improperly positioned and touching the spray arms. Also, ensure the dishwasher is level and the pump is not obstructed.
Place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack facing down. Use the top rack for glasses, cups, and smaller items. Ensure that nothing blocks the spray arms or detergent dispenser.
To enhance drying, ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled, select a drying cycle, and open the door slightly after the cycle ends to release steam.
