Problem: Your dishwasher does not clean the dishes

- Make sure that the detergent dispenser is functioning correctly
- Make sure the spray arms don’t have blockages.
- Make sure that the inlet and drain valves have the proper resistance.
Problem: Your dishwasher is extremely noisy.
Solution: If you find that your dishwasher is noisier than usual, there may be a problem. Try this:
- Take a look at the spray arms and inlet filter screens. Check and see if they’re damaged.
- Check the motor, fan, and blades for damages that may be causing excessive noise.
Problem: Your dishwasher does not fill or continues to drain all of the water while it is filling.
Solution: If your dishwasher is doing one of those two things, try these steps to fix it:
- Make sure that your water supply is on.
- Check to see if there are leaks between the water supply and the dishwasher. If there are leaks, tighten the water supply.
- Make sure that there is no breakage in the fill lines that are preventing the dishwasher from filling.
- Check the door latch and make sure it is functioning properly
- Check the inlet and drain valves.
- Make sure that the drain valve is functioning properly by grasping the arm to try and move it up and down. If it is difficult to move the springs are most likely damaged or missing.
