Leaking Water

Leaking water is a common problem during dishwasher installation. It can be caused by a loose hose and improper connection. To resolve this issue:
​

• Check the hose and connections for any visible damage.
• Tighten all hose connections to prevent leaks.
• Ensure the hose is properly secured to the drain or garbage disposal.
• Replace any damaged components as needed.

Improper Drainage

If your dishwasher isn't draining properly, it can lead to a foul odor and standing water in the appliance.  To address drainage issues:

• Ensure the drainage hose is installed at the correct height.
• Verify that the air gap (if applicable) is clear and properly installed.
• Make sure it's correctly connected to your kitchen's plumbing.

Electrical Connection Problems

If your dishwasher won't turn on, inspect the electrical connections. To troubleshoot the issue:
​

• Check the power supply to ensure it matches the dishwasher's requirements.
• Test the outlet by plugging in another appliance to confirm it's functional.
• Ensure the power supply matches the dishwasher's requirements.

Uneven Installation

An unevenly installed dishwasher can cause issues with door closure and overall stability. To level your dishwasher:
​

• Use a leveling tool to check the appliance's balance.
• Adjust the leveling legs until the dishwasher is perfectly level.

Blocked spray arm

Incorrect spray arm assembling during installation leads to poor cleaning result. So, after assembling, verify the spray arm can move freely.
