How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the dishwasher immediately.
- Inspect for leaks: Check around and under the Baumatic dishwasher for signs of water leakage.
- Visual wiring check: With power disconnected, remove panels and inspect wiring for burns, melted insulation, or loose connections.
- Common culprits: The heater and circulation pump are frequent sources of earth leakage. If you smell burning or see damage near these parts, they likely need replacement.
- Professional testing: Because this involves insulation resistance and earth leakage tests, contact a qualified technician to identify and replace the faulty component (often the heater or circulation pump motor).
