Dishwasher emits a burning smell or shows signs of overheating during operation.

Safety first: Immediately switch off the dishwasher at the breaker and unplug it. Do not continue using the appliance until inspected.

• Inspect plug and socket: Check for discoloration, melting, or burning at the plug and wall socket. Replace damaged components.
• Check base components: Remove the bottom panel and inspect the heater, pumps, and wiring for burn marks or melted insulation.
• Remove foreign objects: Ensure no plastic items have fallen onto the heater area inside the tub.
• Ventilation: Confirm that the dishwasher has adequate ventilation around it and is not tightly sealed without airflow.

Because burning smells often indicate serious electrical faults, have a qualified technician diagnose and repair before reuse.
