Possible Causes

Empty detergent or rinse aid container, Blocked dosing tube, Defective peristaltic dosing pump, Faulty level sensor in chemical container

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and use appropriate PPE when handling commercial detergents and rinse aids.

  • Check chemical levels: Verify that external detergent and rinse aid containers are not empty and that suction tubes are submerged.
  • Inspect suction and dosing tubes: Look for kinks, air leaks, or crystallized chemical blocking the lines. Flush or replace tubing as needed.
  • Prime dosing pumps: Many professional dishwashers allow manual priming. Follow the user manual to prime the detergent and rinse aid pumps until liquid flows without air bubbles.
  • Test dosing pump: If the pump does not run during priming, check its wiring and replace the detergent dosing pump or rinse aid dosing pump if faulty.
