Problem	Possible Causes	What To Do
Dishwasher doesn't run	Fuse blown, or the circuit breaker acted	Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other appliances sharing the same circuit with the dishwasher.
	Power supply is not turned on	Make sure the dishwasher is turned on and the door is closed securely. Make sure the power cord is properly plugged into the wall socket.
	Water pressure is low	Check that the water supply is connected properly and the water is turned on.

	Utensils are not secure in the baskets or something small has dropped into the basket	To ensure everything is secured in the dishwasher.
	Motor hums	Dishwasher has not been used regularly. If you do not use it often, remember to set it to fill and pump out every week, which will help keep the seal moist.
Suds in the tub	Improper detergent	Use only the special dishwasher detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher, then start the "soak" wash cycle to drain out the water... Repeat if necessary.
	Spilled rinse agent	Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Stained tub interior	Detergent with colorant was used	Make sure that the detergent is the one without colorant.
Dishes and flatware not clean	Improper program Improper basket loading	Make sure that the action of the detergent dispenser and spray arms are not blocked by large dishware. Select a stronger programme.
Spots and filming on glasses and flatware	- Extremely hard water - Low inlet temperature - Overloading the dishwasher - Improper loading - Old or damp powder detergent - Empty rinse agent dispenser - Incorrect dosage of detergent	To remove spots from glassware: 1. Take out all metal utensils out of the dishwasher. 2. Do not add detergent. 3. Choose the longest cycle. 4.

Close the door and let the dishwasher complete the cycle. If the vinegar does not work: Repeat as above, except use 1/4 cup (60 ml)of citric acid crystals instead of vinegar.
Cloudiness on glassware	Combination of soft water and too much detergent	Use less detergent if you have soft water and select a shortest cycle to wash the glassware and to get them clean.
Yellow or brown film on inner surfaces	Tea or coffee stains	Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups of warm water to remove the stains by hand. WARNING You have to wait for 20 minutes after a cycle to let the heating elements cool down before cleaning interior; otherwise, burns will happen.
	Iron deposits in water can cause an overall film	You have to call a water softener company for a special filter.
