How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the appliance to cool before working inside the tub.

  • 1. Clean filters and spray arms: Remove and thoroughly clean all filters and spray arms to restore proper water flow.
  • 2. Use quality detergent: Replace old or damp detergent with fresh, high-quality dishwasher tablets or powder.
  • 3. Check heating: During a hot program, open the door carefully after 20 minutes. Steam should be noticeable and the water hot. If not, the heating element or NTC sensor may be faulty.
  • 4. Run high-temperature cycle: Run an intensive program with a dishwasher cleaner to dissolve internal grease.
