How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Unplug the dishwasher immediately and leave it disconnected until the fault is found.
- Inspect for leaks: Pull the dishwasher out and check for water in the base tray or around hoses and pumps. Fix any leaks before further testing.
- Visual wiring check: With panels removed, look for burnt wires, melted connectors, or signs of arcing.
- Component isolation (advanced): A technician can disconnect the heater, pumps, and other loads one by one to identify the faulty component causing the trip.
- Do not use until repaired: Because this is an electrical safety issue, component testing and replacement should be carried out by a qualified technician.
