How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Before opening the appliance, ensure it is unplugged. Work only if you are comfortable with basic electrical safety.

  • Check household supply: Verify the wall socket works by plugging in another device. Reset any tripped breakers or replace blown fuses as needed.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for visible damage, cuts, or burn marks on the Candy dishwasher's power cable. If damaged, the cord must be replaced.
  • Test on/off switch: On models with a physical power button, ensure it clicks positively. A failed switch can prevent power from reaching the control board.
  • Internal checks (advanced): Remove the kick plate and locate the mains filter and wiring to the control board. Look for burnt components or loose connectors. Do not touch exposed live parts.
  • If no obvious issue: The internal power supply on the control board may have failed. This is a high-voltage repair and should be handled by a qualified technician.
