Troubleshooting Tips

• Check the water supply: Make sure that the water supply to the dishwasher is turned on and that the water pressure is adequate.
• Clean the drain hose: The drain hose can become clogged over time, preventing the dishwasher from draining properly. Disconnect the drain hose and clean out any debris or blockages.
• Inspect the door latch: The door latch must be securely closed for the dishwasher to operate properly. Check the door latch and make sure that it is not damaged or misaligned.
• Reset the circuit breaker: If the dishwasher is not receiving power, the circuit breaker may have tripped. Reset the circuit breaker and try running the dishwasher again.
