Step 1

Inspect the strainer basket at the bottom of the unit. Lift it up and clean it out to prevent flooding and leaks.

Step 2

Press down the "Power Scrub Plus" and "Regular Wash" buttons on the control panel of the machine. Hold them down.

Step 3

Press down the "On" button to turn on the machine. You should see lights flashing above the "Power Scrub Plus" and "Regular Wash" buttons. Release the buttons. Press the "On/Off" switch to stop the power test.

Step 4

Test the program indicator lights by pressing down the "Power Scrub Plus", "Scrub Wash", "Regular Wash" and "Rinse and Hold" individually. A light will come on above. When scrub wash is pressed down, the "Clean" light will also turn on.

Step 5

Press down the "Power Scrub Plus" and "Regular Wash" buttons at the same time. A new test will begin. If a fault is detected, one of the indicator lights will turn on. "Power Scrub Plus" means a heater fault, "Scrub Wash" means the dishwasher is under or over filling, and "Regular Wash" indicates there is a temperature sensor fault.

Step 6

Inspect all the pipes leading to the unit for signs of water dripping. Tighten connections with a wrench.
