Not Starting or Operating - Portable Dishwasher

The dishwasher could be in Standby or Sleep Mode? 

• Be sure you have disabled Sleep Mode by pressing either START/RESUME or CANCEL.
• Also opening and closing the door can be done before selecting your cycle/option to be ready for operation.  

Is the power supply properly connected to the dishwasher?  

• For a plug-in power cord, make sure it is properly plugged in.
• If the unit is direct wired, make sure that the wiring has been properly connected to the unit. Refer to the installation instruction for proper direct wiring instructions.

Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?

If power is properly connected to the unit: 

• Check your household electrical box to see if a fuse has blown or if the circuit breaker has tripped. 
• It is not recommended to plug a dishwasher into an outlet with a wall switch that must be in the ON position to supply power to the outlet.
• Locate another outlet or direct wire the dishwasher to the home power supply.

Has a delay wash option been selected?

•  Will NOT run until the delay time is reached.

To Turn Off the Delay Wash Feature:

• Press CANCEL/DRAIN to cancel the delay. Then press START/RESUME to start a cycle without a delay. 

Is the door completely closed and latched?

• Make sure that the door is completely closed and latched.
• A lower dish rack that is installed backward can also cause the door to not latch properly. 
• The dishwasher may be overloaded with dishes, not allowing the door to close and latch.

Is the water supply turned on to the dishwasher?

• Make sure the dishwasher water supply is turned on.

Has the motor stopped due to an overload?

• The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes, if this occurs. 
• Allow the dishwasher time to do so if it does not restart.

Cycle power to the control to reset the dishwasher:

Much like all machines/ appliances, resetting the dishwasher control can sometimes solve the issues you are experiencing.

To reset the dishwasher control panel, it needs to be disconnected from the power source for one minute.

• For a dishwasher that is plugged into an outlet:
  • Simply unplug the unit for one minute.
  • Then plug it back in.
• If the dishwasher is hard-wired to the power supply:
  • Turn the breaker off at the home's electrical panel that powers the dishwasher, for one minute. 
  • Then turn the breaker back on.
