To reset the Kenwood KDW12SL3A dishwasher, turn off the dishwasher and unplug it from the electrical outlet. Wait for about 10 minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on. This should reset the control panel.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Ensure the sink drain is clear. Clean the dishwasher's filter and sump area, and inspect the drain pump for any obstructions.
Remove the lower dish rack and locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Turn the filter counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse it under running water and remove any debris before placing it back in the dishwasher.
Ensure the water supply valve is turned on and the water inlet hose is not kinked. Check the inlet valve and clean any debris from the filter screen. Inspect the float switch for any obstructions.
Unusual noises can be caused by items in the dishwasher touching each other or the spray arms. Ensure dishes and utensils are properly loaded and not obstructing the spray arms. Check for loose or worn-out components.
It is recommended to clean the spray arms every 3 to 6 months. Remove them and rinse under running water, using a small brush to clear any blockages in the spray holes.
The error code E4 indicates a water overflow problem. Check for leaks in the dishwasher and ensure that the drainage system is not blocked. Inspect the float switch and ensure it is not stuck.
No, you should not use regular dish soap in your dishwasher as it can cause excessive suds and overflow. Use only dishwasher-specific detergents for optimal performance and safety.
Place large cookware items, such as pots and pans, on the lower rack with the open side facing downward. Ensure they do not block the spray arms and adjust the top rack if necessary to accommodate taller items.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the filter, checking and cleaning the spray arms, inspecting the door seal, and ensuring the drainage system is clear. Perform these tasks every few months to keep the dishwasher in optimal condition.
