How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and water before accessing the base or internal components.
- 1. Clean filters thoroughly: Remove all filters and wash them under hot water. Ensure no food debris is left in the sump.
- 2. Check spray arms: Remove upper and lower spray arms. Clean all jets and ensure they are not cracked or loose on their mounts.
- 3. Inspect circulation pump: Access the base and locate the circulation pump. Check for obstructions in the inlet and impeller area. Remove any debris.
- 4. Test pump operation: If the pump hums but does not circulate water, or is silent during wash, the motor may be defective. Replace the circulation pump assembly.
