Check the water level.

If the water level is low, there will not be enough pressure to clean dishes effectively. This can cause the machine to run longer than necessary, wasting energy and money. To prevent this problem, make sure the water tank is full before starting the cycle.

Detergents should be replaced every six months. This will help prevent buildup and blockages. Call us we will sort out your Dishwasher error code. 

If you see water coming out of the drain hose, turn off the power at the breaker box and unplug the machine. Then, open the door and remove the access panel cover. Look inside the access panel for a rubber gasket. Remove the gasket and replace it with a new one.

Next, check the faucet. Turn the water supply valve to the “off” position and then back to the “on” position. This should clear any clogs. If not, try turning the water supply valve to another setting.
