How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher and close the water tap immediately. Mop up any spilled water to prevent slipping.
- Pull out the appliance: Carefully slide the SMEG dishwasher out of the cabinet to inspect the sides and base.
- Remove side panels: Take off the left and right panels to view hoses, sump, and water matrix.
- Run a short test: With panels removed, run a short cycle and watch for drips. Use a flashlight to trace the leak source.
- Tighten or replace components: Tighten loose clamps, replace split hoses, or install a new sump or matrix if cracked.
- Dry base tray: Ensure the base tray and float switch area are completely dry before reassembling.
