Dishwasher problems
No error code on the display? Find the fault by what your dishwasher is actually doing.
- Dishwasher won't drain — water left in the bottomStanding water in the base after the cycle. Nearly always a blocked filter, a blocked sink waste, or — on a newly installed machine — a blanking plug that was never knocked out of the waste spigot.See the fix
- Dishwasher isn't cleaning the dishes properlyThe cycle runs to completion but plates come out gritty, filmed or still greasy. Usually blocked spray arms, a clogged filter, or salt and rinse aid that ran out months ago — rarely an actual component failure.See the fix
