How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water supply immediately to prevent electrical hazards.

  • 1. Pull out the dishwasher: Carefully slide the Hisense unit out and place towels underneath.
  • 2. Inspect hoses and connections: With a flashlight, check all visible hoses (inlet, drain, circulation) and clamps for drips while running a short cycle.
  • 3. Tighten or replace clamps: Use a screwdriver or pliers to tighten any loose clamps. Replace rusted or damaged clamps.
  • 4. Check sump and pumps: Inspect the sump-to-tub gasket and pump seals for leaks. Replace the Hisense sump gasket or pump seals if water is seeping from these areas.
  • 5. Inlet valve check: Examine the inlet valve body for cracks or leaks at the solenoid. Replace the valve if leaking.
