Jackson dishwasher emits a burning smell or visible smoke during operation.

Safety first: Immediately turn off power at the breaker and do not operate the machine until the source is identified. Have a fire extinguisher available.

• Locate source of smell/smoke: Carefully remove panels and inspect around heaters, motors, and control box for discoloration, melted insulation, or smoke residue.
• Tighten connections: Check all high-current terminals (heaters, motors, main lugs) for looseness. Tighten to manufacturer torque specs.
• Inspect motors: If smell originates from a motor, check for overheating, noise, or seized bearings. Replace the motor if windings are burned.
• Clean heaters: Remove any plastic debris or labels that may have fallen onto heating elements and burned.

Do not return the dishwasher to service until all damaged components are replaced and the cause of overheating is fully resolved.
