Step 6

Inspect the food grinder on the bottom of the dishwasher for large or hard items that may have gotten caught and remove as needed.

Step 7

Find the drain and water hoses, usually located in the rear or on the side of the dishwasher, and disconnect each hose. Clean out any debris and use a soft brush to clean out the inlet screens. Connect the hoses firmly and make each hose straight.
