Frequently Asked Questions by Customers Q: Why aren’t my dishes coming out clean? A: If your dishes aren't coming out clean, several common issues may be the cause: * Check the loading: Avoid overcrowding and make sure nothing blocks the spray arms. Point dirty surfaces downward. * Check the detergent: Use the correct amount and type. Too little won’t clean well; too much may leave a residue. * Inspect the filter: A dirty or clogged filter can cause food particles to redeposit on dishes. Clean it regularly. * Verify water temperature: Ensure the water heater is set to at least 120°F (49°C) for effective cleaning. Q: Why isn't my dishwasher draining properly? A: Poor drainage is often caused by blockages or installation issues. Check the following: * Check the filter: A clogged filter at the bottom can block drainage. * Inspect the drain hose: Ensure it isn’t kinked, bent, or obstructed. * Check the garbage disposal: If connected, make sure it's not clogged and that the knockout plug was removed during installation. Q: What should I do if the dishwasher won’t start? A: A dishwasher that won’t start may be experiencing a power or door latch issue. Try these steps: * Reset the circuit breaker: Flip the breaker fully off, then back on to reset it. * Check the door latch: Make sure the door is closed securely. Most dishwashers won’t start unless properly latched. * Deactivate Control Lock: Some models have a child lock feature. Look for a lock icon or dedicated button to disable it. Q: Why aren’t my dishes drying completely? A: Incomplete drying can be due to low heat, lack of rinse aid, or poor water sheeting. To improve drying: * Use rinse aid: This helps water slide off dishes more easily. * Select a heated drying option: Choose "Heated Dry" or "Extra Dry" for improved performance. * Check water temperature: Hot water improves both cleaning and drying. The final rinse should be hot enough to aid evaporation. Q: What do error codes on my dishwasher mean? A: Error codes point to specific problems. Here's what some common codes indicate: * E16, E17 (Water supply issues): Check that water is flowing and the inlet hose isn’t kinked or blocked. * F2, E4, E5 (Drainage problems): Inspect the drain hose and filters for clogs. * E6, HE (Heating element issues): Indicates a heating failure. Try running a normal cycle; if unresolved, service may be needed. Q: Why does my dishwasher have an odour? A: Odours are usually caused by trapped food particles or a lack of regular cleaning. To eliminate smells: * Clean the filter: Remove and clean it regularly to prevent buildup. * Run a cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner or run an empty cycle with vinegar on the top rack. * Wipe the seals: Food residue can collect around the door gasket.
