How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately switch off the dishwasher at the mains and do not use it again until inspected. Risk of fire and electric shock.

Visual inspection: Once cooled and unplugged, remove the lower front panel and inner door panel to inspect wiring and components.
Check heater terminals: Look for discoloured or melted plastic around the heater connections.
Inspect wiring harness: Trace the main harness for burnt insulation or exposed conductors. Replace any damaged sections.
Examine control board: Look for burnt components or scorch marks. A damaged PCB usually requires replacement.
Do not bypass safety devices: Never bypass thermostats, fuses, or earth connections to keep the machine running.
Professional repair recommended: Due to fire risk, have a qualified technician complete the repair.
