Possible Causes
Partially blocked inlet filter, Clogged water matrix channels, Low mains water pressure, Faulty flow meter not registering pulses
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance and close the water tap.
- Clean inlet filters: Close the tap, remove the inlet hose from the tap and from the dishwasher. Clean the small mesh filters at both ends under running water.
- Check hose routing: Ensure the inlet hose is not kinked or crushed behind the dishwasher.
- Inspect water matrix: Remove the left side panel and visually inspect the water matrix. If water channels are heavily scaled or brown, internal flow is restricted.
- Descale: Run a hot cycle with a commercial dishwasher descaler. For severe scaling, the water matrix may need to be removed and soaked or replaced.
- Water pressure check: Open the tap into a bucket and verify a strong flow. If pressure is low, contact a plumber.
