Possible Causes
Loose power connection at terminal block, Undersized or long extension wiring, Household voltage drop, Damaged power cord
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing electrical connections.
- 1. Check dedicated circuit: Ensure the dishwasher is on its own dedicated circuit as recommended by Insignia. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.
- 2. Inspect terminal block: Remove the lower access panel and open the junction box where the house wiring connects. Look for loose wire nuts, burned insulation, or melted plastic. Tighten or replace connectors as needed.
- 3. Verify cord condition: If your model uses a power cord, inspect it for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace if damaged.
- 4. Measure voltage: With a multimeter (and only if you are qualified), measure voltage at the terminal block while the dishwasher is running. It should be near 120V AC. Significant drops may indicate a household wiring issue.
- 5. Contact an electrician: If low voltage is confirmed, have a licensed electrician correct the supply problem.
Do not continue operating the dishwasher with suspected power issues, as this can damage electronic components.
