Safety Checks You Can Do
• Check your home's main water shut-off valve to ensure it is fully open
• Verify that the water supply shutoff valve behind or under the dishwasher is turned on completely
• Inspect the hot water inlet hoses for kinks, twists, or damage
• Test your home's water pressure with a pressure gauge (connect to an outdoor faucet or utility sink) to confirm it is between 20-116 psi as required by USA plumbing standards
• Turn off the dishwasher and wait 2-3 minutes, then turn it back on and restart the cycle to reset the control board
• Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the dishwasher's breaker is in the ON position
• Look for any visible water leaks under the dishwasher or in the cabinet below
• Remove the lower rack and inspect the inlet valve opening at the bottom left or right of the tub for visible debris or blockages
• Ensure the dishwasher door is closing completely and the door latch is engaging properly
• Run hot water at the kitchen sink for 30 seconds before running the dishwasher to purge cold water from the line
