hi...
If the cycle doesn't complete, check these....
Water-heating cycle
Many
dishwashers heat the wash and/or rinse water to a higher temperature,
as the cycle calls for it. In these cycles, the dishwasher pauses after
it has filled with water, waiting for the water to reach the pre-set
temperature. What happens next, depends, as follows:
- On some units, the pause is timed and the unit continues after the allotted time.
- On
others, the cycle can't continue until the water reaches the higher
temperature. If you have this type of dishwasher and the water isn't
being heated (say, because of a problem with the heating element or
thermostat), after the unit stops at the heating cycle, it never
continues. When you repair the heating-system problem, the "cycle
problem" is fixed too.
Timer
Timers
don't often fail. But if every other part of the dishwasher seems to be
working properly and the timer knob seems to be stuck in one
place--doing one function continuously--the timer may be at fault.
Dishwasher timers can't be repaired. If yours is defective, replace it.
if still it doesn't fix your problem then see whether any error codes are generated....
F1
Water heating
fault, selected temperature not reached within 60 minutes
·
Incoming water temperature too cool
·
Heating element burned out
·
Thermostat defective
F2
High water
level
·
Plugged/Bad water pump
·
Defective water inlet valve
F3
Thermistor
fault
·
Open thermistor
·
Bad wiring to thermistor
F4
Fault with
water fill (only on machines with level-controlled fill)
Note: Lights blinking, pump running and controls
dead indicates an over fill fault
1.
Disconnect the power to the unit
2. Remove the lower access panels and check the tray
under the dishwasher (you will probably find it is full
of water)
3. Use a towel or a sponge to remove the water
4. There is a float that should stop the operation
of the dishwasher and run the pump if water is in this tray.
Check this pump to see if it is functional
5. Test the dishwasher
6. If there are no leaks from the dishwasher into
the pan, check the drain hose under the sink
7. THE DRAIN HOSE MUST RUN UP TO THE TOP OF THE UNDERSIDE
OF THE COUNTERTOP THEN DOWN TO THE DRAIN. (If the hose is
not set up like this, water from the sink drain will flow
into the dishwasher and overfill the tray
*Faults
may vary by model. Use this as a general guide.
i think these details would definitely help you.....thank you...
I removed and inspected the pipe (I called it "hose" in the post) and found it quite clean. But it is worth to try. What is a "dishwasher cleaner"?
Since I did not know what to do, I called a repairman. And of course, it was so simple I am now banging my head against the wall for not remembering it myself: if you have a "device" which can not handle a certail flow, but there is nothing in it to block the flow, that the problem must be in the flow! Meaning, the main valve had to be replaced.
