How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and water. Use towels to contain any leaks.
- Pull out dishwasher: Carefully slide the Summit dishwasher out from the cabinet to inspect the sides and rear.
- Inspect hoses: Check the drain hose and any internal circulation hoses for cracks, pinholes, or loose clamps. Tighten or replace as needed.
