How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Beware of hot steam when opening the door or hood. Allow the machine to cool before servicing.
- Inspect door or hood gasket: Replace worn or damaged seals that allow steam to escape.
- Check exhaust system: Verify that any built-in exhaust fan or condenser is operating. Clean filters and ducts of grease and scale.
- Verify hood operation: On hood-type Meiko machines, ensure the hood closes fully and latches correctly during the cycle.
- Improve room ventilation: Ensure the dishwasher is installed under an appropriate canopy hood or ventilation system as per Meiko installation guidelines.
