Source-reviewed guidance

Start with the removable filter, visible drain-hose route, and any recent sink or disposal work before arranging service.

Check the water supply, the visible inlet hose, and whether the door closes before using model-specific support.

Stop the water source first, then limit checks to visible connections, loading, and detergent foam before arranging service.

Check door closure, program selection, delay or control-lock settings, and the exact model manual before resetting anything.

Review loading, the removable filter and spray arms, the selected program, and automatic dishwasher detergent.

Check whether the cycle includes drying, whether rinse aid and a supported dry option are in use, and whether loading traps water.

Separate removable mineral or salt film from possible permanent glass etching before changing detergent, rinse-aid, or water-hardness settings.

Keep the dispenser dry and unobstructed, match the detergent to a suitable cycle, and use service support if basic checks do not resolve it.
