• It is necessary to check the power supply in the outlet to which the equipment is connected.
• If electricity is present, then it is necessary to check the contacts in the junction box located at the bottom of the equipment. The distribution box is located in such a way that it is constantly exposed to the influence of a moist microclimate, which contributes to the oxidizing process of contacts. Therefore, in order to eliminate the malfunction, it is necessary to unscrew and process the contacts with sandpaper, then tighten and try to re-insert the dishwasher.
• If, however, there is still no response to the pushbutton on, the cause of the breakdown can be enclosed in the machine control module.

2. Valve performance can be determined by applying the tester. To do this, it is necessary to disconnect the wires from the coil output points and conduct a resistance measurement:
   • if the indicator on the tester has zero resistance, then there is a break in the winding;
   • if the indicator on the tester issued a "short circuit", then this indicates a short circuit between the turns.

Important! A good coil should fix on the device some amount of resistance. In case of damage detection, the damaged coil must be replaced with another, with similar throughput.

The dishwasher refuses to drain the water

If the domestic unit does not drain the water and the electric motor continues to operate, the reason may be to block the pump with food residues that have penetrated the filter cylinder. In this case, it is not feasible to drain the water, which leads to the stalling of the program.

6. Inspect the impeller for the presence of foreign objects.
7. Make sure that the impeller of the pump device is unobstructed. During this process, it is absolutely necessary to use gloves, since broken glass can be in the pump.
8. Close the pump cover by positioning it in the desired position.
9. Install the filter cylinder in its original position.

Important! Also, a dishwasher malfunction may result in burnout of the motor winding. In this case, first the electric motor is disconnected from all the wires, and then, using a multimeter, it is possible to check the windings of the electric motor for an open or short circuit.
