How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and water.
- Check for suds: Open the door; excessive foam indicates wrong detergent or too much rinse aid. Run a rinse cycle with a small amount of cooking oil to break down suds.
- Inspect door gasket: Replace if torn or flattened.
- Check hoses and sump: Tighten clamps and replace any cracked components.
- Dry base pan: Remove toe-kick and dry any water; reset by disconnecting power for several minutes.
