Kenwood KDW8ST2A Instruction Manual

To reset your Kenwood KDW8ST2A dishwasher, turn off the dishwasher at the power source for about 5 minutes. Upon restarting, it should reset any errors and allow you to begin a new cycle.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or clogged. Ensure that the sink drain is not blocked. Clean the filter and remove any debris. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump for obstructions.
It is recommended to clean the filter once a month or after every 30 wash cycles to maintain optimal performance and prevent clogs.
Ensure that dishes are loaded properly and not obstructing the spray arms. Check for foreign objects in the filter or pump area. If the noise persists, inspect the motor or pump for potential issues.
Check the door seal for damage or debris. Ensure the dishwasher is level and not overfilled. Inspect the hoses and connections for leaks. Replace any damaged parts if necessary.
Use a rinse aid to enhance drying performance. Ensure that the items are loaded correctly to allow proper air circulation. Select a higher temperature wash cycle if available.
Error code E4 indicates a water overflow problem. Check for leaks, ensure the dishwasher is level, and inspect the inlet valve for any issues.
Ensure the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Use the correct amount of detergent and make sure the water temperature is sufficiently hot. Regularly clean the filter and interior.
Place larger items like pots and pans on the bottom rack, ensuring they do not block the spray arms. Load dishes at an angle for better water flow and place cups and glasses on the top rack.
Regularly clean the filter, check and clean the spray arms, inspect the door seal for debris, and run a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner every few months to maintain performance.
