Hose sizes I am preparing to purchase a Haier HDT18PA countertop dishwasher. I am trying to find out teh hose lenths for both the inlet and drain hoses to learn if they can reach my sink from my counter area. Does anyone know this info? I have beeen unable to get this info from Haier!! Thanks for any help!

this will sound silly but the amount of times this has been the cause will justify the question, if the drain hose is conected to a spout off the sink trap, has the plug at the base of the spout been removed to allow water to drain?

Otherwise >

disconect the power then tilt the dishwasher about 45 degrees to the front then back, hold it in each position for about 10 seconds, water will come out so be prepared for that. back to level and try it again,

I had problem like this...one day the washer stopped, still half-full of water. Then, we tried to run again and we could hear the little engine working but it wouldn't let water in OR out, just error beaps.
Then my boyfriend took off the back and gently tapped the water inlet valve solenoid with his screwdriver, and now it works! Starting FILLING actually, not draining, but completed a full cycle finally!
Must have shaken loose a blockage in the mechanics in that solenoid, probably have to replace before long. But for now, success!

(See "REPLACE WATER INLET VALVE", half-way down page)

Assuming you have a built-in dishwasher.
Get a good strong flashlight.
Remove the front lower panel below the door to the dishwasher, and look to the rear, usually the left rear in the back . The valve is about the size of your fist, maybe a little smaller. It has 2 wires going to it, and sometimes the valve is blue plastic. It also has the inlet water hose attached to it, and a hose that goes from it to the machine itself. Sometimes the hose from the valve to he machine is black in color.
If you can't possible see it, try to pull the machine half way out from under the countertop.
You will do this by removing the two small screws above the door holding the two small tabs to the countertop.
Pull the machine gently out halfway, then you may be able to locate the valve more easily.
You should not try to pull the machine out farther because there are 3 important items holding it . One is the wiring, one is the inlet hose, and one is the waste water hose.

Hi,
To disconnect ....remove the kickplate...after turning off the electric and water...remove the electric wire from the dishwasher by opening the e;electric box and undoing the wires...also remove the water pipe/hose from the inlet valve...then remove the drain hose from the drain and makes sure that it will not catch as you pull out the dishwasher...then remove the two screws that hold the dishwasher fast to the countertop and the pull the dishwasher straight out from under the countertop...

HDT18PA Haier Table Top Dishwasher

There is a filter at the bottom of the tub that has to be cleaned out once in a while. Then it will drain. This should help. It is a plastic looking mesh filter most can be removed and hand washed. Hope this helps.

check to make sure nothing is binding the impeller, ie: broken glass, coins, twist ties, plastic bag.

You have to buy an adapter for the faucet that allows the hose to hook up. You an get it at any hardware store. It's easier to get a dishwasher installation kit and just hook it up permanently.
