Problem
Possible Causes
Recommended Action
Kitchen sink clogged
Check the kitchen sink to make sure it
is draining well. If the problem is the
kitchen sink that is not draining, you
may need a plumber rather than a
serviceman for dishwashers.
Suds in the tub
Wrong detergent
Use only the dedicated dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If suds exist in
the washer. Open the door for 20-30
minutes to allow the foam to evaporate.
If the foam still exists in the liner. Add
1.5L of water to the liner, close the
dishwasher door and run a forced drain
to drain it with the water. Repeat the
operation until the foam is cleared.
