The basic malfunctions of dishwashers

What can cause failure?

If machinery has served you more than 5 years, and its warranty expired long ago, so the possible cause of fault could be banal wear parts.

In that case, if you make a purchase recently and has a dishwasher broke down, the breakage of the reasons may be as follows:

• Poor assembly and parts themselves.Seen in cheap Chinese models from little-known manufacturers.
• Before loading the dishes into the camera you do not wash off the remnants of food, which clog the filter.Very dirty dishes most of the dishwashers were not washed completely, resulting in an additional rinse is necessary manually.
• fault outlet.Banal situation but still sometimes occur.
• Improper connection of the dishwasher (for example, the length of the drain hose more than the allowable value or a hose with cold water is not fixed).
• Poor detergent that is not well or not at all washes washes the dishes.
• You may simply loosely closed door (the mechanism is designed so that the equipment will not turn on until the latch).Here it should be noted that some models door is not locked in the lower position.If the door does not hold is not breaking the dishwasher, and a defect of the manufacturer.
• Another rather popular cause of the problem - incorrect loading of the dishes, resulting in equipment badly washes the lower section or the upper shelf.Even in manual loading is discussed right - to fill in the top plate and cup, bottom - overall kitchenware (eg, pots).Another important requirement - the glasses and cups should be laid upside down.

Unless one of these reasons is the culprit of failure, then the case for spare parts, which we'll talk further.

Solving basic types of problems

dishwashing process does not start

The situation: You have included a certain mode, all the LEDs light up, from the camera can be heard the sound of water filling is hot, but there is no washing process itself.In this case, the probable causes of failure of the dishwasher can be:

1. Clogged filter located at the bottom of the dive chamber utensils.His need to get, how to wash and set back.
   
   
2. Clogged nozzles, resulting in the dishwasher Do not spray water or it is simply bad sprayed.In this case, take a toothpick and a hole punch.Also clogging of the nozzles may cause a low pressure during a washing process, whereby the pan is not laundered.Looking ahead I would like to say at once that if the rocker is not spinning, the first thing you need to check the circulation pump, which often fails.
3. Failure of the circulating pump, the purpose of which - the water supply to the injectors.The most complicated failure of all three, which resulted in the dishwasher is not taking on water.All you need - to replace the pump with new one.To do this, open access to it (located at the bottom of the camera) Turn off all the tubes and attachment to the art, and then set the working pump.

determine the failure of the circulation pump can be the characteristic sound of his work.If the noise after filling water is not available, most likely the cause of it!As you can see, change is not a big deal.

should further be noted that a possible malfunction of the dishwasher can damage the motor, or rather its winding.To make sure of serviceability of the engine, check the multimeter to interturn circuit and open circuit.

Water poured

likely broke the water level sensor.It is located at the bottom of the art, so it will be necessary to turn the dishwasher, and then carry out the replacement of the sensor to a new access.

Please note that if the unit is turned off and there is poured water into the chamber, then there is not in the sensor and solenoid valve, which is to shut off the flow of liquid.Replacing the valve does not present any difficulties.

Overheating / subcooling water

It happens a case that the dishwasher is overheating or vice versa does not heat the water.In the first case, the temperature sensor is broken, which leads to overheating of the water, the formation of a large volume of steam and stop working equipment.

As for subcooling, then there may be several reasons for failure:

• again, the temperature sensor stopped working;
• weak water pressure (in particular, a pump nozzle);
• heater does not work (you need to check the resistance of a multimeter).

not going

plums If after the washing water is drained into the sewer, it is possible broken pump or clogged drainage system, because of which the dishwasher will not drain.

As regards the first case, then you need to check the drain pump for debris and winding resistance.Most likely the water is in the dishwasher due to the fact that a clogged pump, although sometimes run can occur even due to water pressure.If the pump is in order, check the entire drainage system, including a siphon.Most likely, clogged hose, which simply need to be cleaned or the filter inside the chamber.

housing beats current

If the dishwasher has a current, with a probability of 99% is possible to assert that pierced the heating element - PETN.All you need to do - open access to TENu and visually inspect it for cracks or other types of defects.If indeed the heating element is damaged, replace it with a new one.

reason the heater fails - poor water quality (too hard).Also, another problem may be the failure of the heating element switching relays.Instructions for replacing parts demonstrated on video:

no picks detergent

If you notice that the dishwasher does not take a powder or tablet, most likely the cause of failure is contamination of the nozzles orweak water pressure, with the result that it does not enter the dispenser.Also, the probable cause may be failure of the valve opening mechanism, from which washed away the detergent.If the valve does not open the water intake (or poorly closes), the tablet may not dissolve fully, leaving poorly technique washes dishes.

No power

If you notice that not even burn time indicator or equipment does not respond to pressing the button, it causes malfunction of the dishwasher can be as follows:

• broken socket;
• not worked the door latch or lock the device burned;
• button does not work network;
• not working power filter.

In all cases, you need to use a multimeter to check all the elements of the circuit and the process of elimination to find why the dishwasher does not start.If in your case the dishwasher completes the cycle or not, you can not switch the program - check programming and control unit, most likely modes do not work due to a malfunction.

Noisy Noisy

indicates that there is damage to the pump bearing or motor (compressor).Bearings are broken due to the fact that water gets into them, which in turn is leaking through the damaged packing.The result - a dishwasher hums at work.In this case, you will need to not only replace the bearing, but also the omentum, or through time again the same problem will arise.By the way the pump can be connected another reason extraneous noise - garbage got to spray or impeller.Everything is simple, remove the debris and check the impeller for defects (possibly already damaged by the blade, causing noise).

Utensils not dried

Some models are equipped with modern and drying washed dishes.This process occurs when the fan mounted inside the chamber.If you find that the dishwasher does not dry the dishes (or not finally dried), but otherwise functioning normally, probably broken fan.All you need - check it winding and lead-in pins with a multimeter and if there is a need to replace with a new spare part.To learn how to use a multimeter, we are told in the corresponding article.

Leakage of water on the floor

Well, the last one of the most popular breakdowns dishwasher - the flow of water on the floor under the body.

There are four main causes of leaks:

• Door seals are in poor condition, with the result that the door closes tightly.They need to either change, or if it is possible to clean the plaque.
• pump seal, which pumps water damaged.It is best to replace a new one.
• Poorly tightened the clamps on the drain hose and the water supply, resulting in a leak.May also be installed in places nozzles sealing compound.
• damaged water tank, located on the side art.More often repair the tank can not be, so it was changed to a.

To correctly determine the location of the infiltration of water is recommended to remove the cover art and put a sheet on the floor of the newspaper.Where the paper gets wet and will be breaking.

Here is all of the major fault dishwashers.We hope that now you'll be able to repair the equipment if it stops working, will start making noise or will not drain the water after washing dishes.
