Re: My Beko dishwasher model number DWD 4310 has stopped...
Dishwashers are appliances that work in the kitchen to clean dishes. It
has rules to govern its use and when those rules are broken, the
dishwasher will fail to work. The General Electric dishwasher is a
great addition to kitchen appliances
and also has a set of maintenance rules to ensure proper functioning.
If for some reason the machine decides to malfunction, there are a few
troubleshooting ideas to look into.
-
Eliminate abnormal odors in your General Electric dishwasher
by removing any food particles found on the bottom of the machine.
Locate any plastic, paper or other debris blocking the pump inlet and
remove. Unblock the spray arm jets with a paper clip.
-
Step 2
Do
not overload the dishes, as this can cause poor drying. See that the
dishes are not touching each other. Make sure the water temperature is
between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit for best drying performance.
-
Step 3
Check
under the sink to locate the water valve found on the water line. If
your dishwasher is not filling up with water, make sure the valve is
open. Turn the valve all the way to the left.
-
Step 4
Make
sure the water pressure isn't too low if the dishwasher isn't filling
up completely. Water pressure must be 20 to 120 psi. Make sure that the
inlet water hose connected to the dishwasher is not kinked. Remove the
toe-kick plate on the front of the bottom of the dishwasher to check
the hose.

Step 5
Notice
whether or not the dishwasher drains while filling, as this is a sign
of either an air gap in the drain hose, or the loop from the floor to
prevent backflow of water isn't 32" high. If either problem is located,
fix it. Check the water level when the fill cycle has completed. The
level should be just under the heating element. If it is not, you will
know the water is draining while filling.
