Inspect the dishwasher supply hose and untwist any visible kinks or bends.

Step-by-step guide: How to check that there are no kinks in the supply hose.

Step 1The supply hose may be kinked. Check that there are no kinks in the cold water fill hose and the waste water hose by pulling the appliance out slightly and untwisting any visable kinks or bends in these hoses.

Step 2Pull the appliance out slightly and untwist any visible kinks.

Check the water pressure directly from the tap using a bucket. Approximately 10 litres of water per minute should flow out of the tap when fully open. Contact your fitter if the water pressure is too low.

Step-by-step guide: How to check the water pressure

Step 1Check the water pressure of the tap. Close the water tap and remove the hose.

Step 2Put a bucket below the tap and turn off the water tap. Approximately 10 liters of water per minute should come out.

Step 3If the water pressure is too low, please contact your plumber to check the water installation.

If you could not solve the problem, please close the water tap and switch off the appliance. Book an appointment with one of our engineers who will be able to professionally rectify the problem.
