To start a wash cycle, load your dishes and add detergent. Close the door firmly, then press the Power button. Select your desired cycle using the cycle selector, and press Start to begin the wash cycle.
If the dishwasher is not draining, check for clogs in the drain hose, air gap, or garbage disposal. Ensure the drain filter inside the dishwasher is clean. If the problem persists, inspect the drain pump for obstructions.
To clean the filter, remove the bottom rack and locate the filter assembly at the bottom of the dishwasher. Twist the cylindrical filter counterclockwise to remove it, and rinse it under running water. Reinstall the filter by twisting it clockwise until it locks into place.
Unusual noises can be caused by items in the dishwasher touching each other or the spray arms. Ensure dishes are loaded properly with enough space between them. Also, check for any foreign objects in the pump area.
To reset the dishwasher, press and hold the Power button until the display turns off. Wait a few seconds, then press the Power button again to turn it back on. This will reset the control panel.
If the dishwasher won't start, ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check that the dishwasher is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. Verify that the water supply valve is open.
It's recommended to clean the spray arms every 3 to 6 months. Remove the spray arms and rinse them under running water to remove any debris or buildup. Use a toothpick to clear any clogged spray holes.
No, you should not use regular dish soap in your dishwasher as it can cause excessive sudsing and potentially damage the appliance. Always use dishwasher-specific detergents.
To adjust the rinse aid setting, open the dishwasher door and locate the rinse aid dispenser. Turn the dial to adjust the amount dispensed per cycle. Higher numbers indicate more rinse aid.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the filter, checking and clearing the spray arms, wiping the door seals, and running an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove buildup.
