Before you call

Safe checks you can make

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.

  • Check that the door is fully closed and latched before restarting.
  • Confirm the water supply tap is fully open and not kinked or restricted.
  • Check that the drain hose is not kinked and the drain path is clear.
  • Switch the dishwasher off at the wall, wait about 60 seconds, then switch back on and retry once.
  • Record the full model and serial number from the rating plate.

Important safety warning. Do not open internal panels, remove covers, or access wiring or the control board. Do not bypass the door safety interlock. If you notice water pooling near electrical parts, a burning smell, or sparks, switch off power at the wall and call a professional immediately.
