To reset the Viking DDB325 dishwasher, press and hold the 'Start/Cancel' button for 3 seconds until the display shows "RESET" or the lights flash. This will clear any current cycles and reset the machine.
First, check the drain hose for kinks or clogs. Ensure the garbage disposal cap is removed if connected. Clean the filter and check for blockages in the sump area. If the problem persists, it might require a service check for the drain pump.
To clean the filter, remove the lower dish rack and locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher. Twist the filter counterclockwise and lift it out. Rinse it under running water to remove debris, then replace it by twisting it clockwise.
Noises can be caused by dishes touching the spray arm or the dishwasher not being level. Ensure dishes are properly loaded, and check that the dishwasher is level by adjusting the feet if needed. Persistent noises might indicate a worn pump or motor.
Use a high-quality automatic dishwasher detergent. For the best results, consider using a detergent that is specifically formulated for hard water if applicable. Avoid using hand-dishwashing liquids, as these can cause excessive suds.
Refer to the user manual to locate the water hardness adjustment feature. Typically, adjustments can be made via the control panel settings, allowing you to set the dishwasher according to the hardness level of your water supply.
Ensure that the spray arms are not blocked and that they can rotate freely. Check that the dishwasher is not overloaded and that dishes are not blocking the detergent dispenser. Regularly clean the filter and use the recommended detergent.
Regularly clean the filter to prevent clogs, check and clean the spray arms, and wipe down the door gasket to ensure a good seal. Run a dishwasher cleaner through the machine monthly to remove mineral deposits and odors.
To prevent odors, regularly clean the filter and run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner. Ensure the door is slightly ajar when not in use to allow air circulation, and promptly remove clean dishes to prevent mold and mildew.
First, check if the dishwasher is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Try resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power for a few minutes and then turning it back on. If the issue persists, it may require professional service.
