To reset the Kenwood KS474S Dishwasher, press and hold the Start/Reset button for about 3 seconds until the indicator lights flash. This will reset the appliance and clear any error codes.
Check the drain hose for any kinks or blockages. Ensure that the sink drain is not clogged. Clean the filter and pump area inside the dishwasher to remove any debris that might be causing the issue.
It is recommended to clean the filter every month to ensure optimal performance and to prevent any blockages or odors.
Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent, either in powder, gel, or tablet form. Make sure it is suitable for automatic dishwashers and follow the manufacturer's instructions for dosage.
Spots can be caused by hard water. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled, and adjust the rinse aid setting if necessary. You may also consider using a water softener if hard water is a persistent issue.
Yes, you can wash plastic items, but ensure they are dishwasher safe. Place them in the top rack to avoid exposure to the heating element that could cause warping.
Ensure that the rinse aid dispenser is filled, as it helps with drying. Use the heated dry option if available, and slightly open the door after the cycle completes to let moisture escape.
Check for any obstructions around the door seal and ensure the racks are not overloaded. Inspect the latch mechanism for any visible damage and clean it if necessary.
Unusual noises can be caused by items hitting each other or the spray arms. Ensure that dishes are properly loaded and not obstructing the spray arms. Check for any loose parts inside the dishwasher.
Regular maintenance is key. Clean the filter and spray arms monthly, use the right detergent, check for leaks, and address any issues promptly. Running the dishwasher regularly can also help keep the components in good working order.
