To reset your Kenwood KS474W Dishwasher, press and hold the start button for about 3 seconds until all the lights on the control panel turn off. This indicates that the dishwasher has been reset.
Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check if the dishwasher is properly connected to a power source and that the circuit breaker is not tripped. Also, make sure the water supply is turned on.
First, remove the bottom rack to access the filter. Twist the filter counterclockwise to remove it. Rinse it under warm water and use a soft brush to remove any debris. Reinstall the filter by twisting it clockwise.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the filter and ensure there are no obstructions in the drain pump. Make sure the sink drain is not clogged as well.
Use a detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Avoid using regular dish soap as it can cause excessive suds. Consider using dishwasher tablets or pods for optimal performance.
It is recommended to clean the spray arms every few months. Remove them and rinse under warm water to clear any blockages. Use a toothpick to dislodge any debris in the spray holes.
Spots on glassware can be caused by hard water. Use a rinse aid to prevent spots and ensure the water softener setting is correctly adjusted for your local water hardness level.
Yes, you can wash plastic items, but place them on the top rack to prevent melting. Avoid placing plastics that are not dishwasher safe or those that are sensitive to high temperatures.
Regularly clean the filter, spray arms, and door seals. Check for any leaks or unusual noises. Ensure the dishwasher is level and clean the detergent dispenser and rinse aid compartments.
To improve drying performance, use a rinse aid and ensure the "heated dry" option is selected. Allow the door to remain slightly ajar after the cycle to allow steam to escape.
