I have a Danby DDW621WDB portable dishwasher. It's stuck with the "glasses" light blinking and a beeping noise. It didn't pump out the water properly and there are no clogs in the hoses.

    After draining the water the unit properly sort of. The short cycle which is supposed to run about 45 minutes takes 2 hours and then it has to be drained again.

"You may need to tip the dishwasher forward, use a towel as water will get every where otherwise. "

This worked! My dishwaser was properly draining, but this time it stucked with the blinking glass light. Powering off/on, didn't work.
I tipped it forward and a little bit of water fell off of the bottom front panel. Pluged it back and it now works! Thanks!

    I did once and it worked the next time, but then it happened again. I guess there is an issue with water leaking to the pan underneath. Anyone knows how to get to the pan? or some solution to this?

The dishwasher will allow 2 minutes of fill time before it interrupts the cycle drain and shuts off. It should only take 40 seconds for water to fill. It will accommodate for low water pressure but not after 2 minutes. Open the hot water faucet all the way. Check for any other obstructions such as kinks or debris in water line.

Speed Cycle Light is Flashing: The water faucet may not be turned on,
the water intake is obstructed or the water pressure is too low.
Glass Cycle Light is Flashing: An area of the unit may be leaking. Turn off the water supply and call for service

SOURCE: Dishwasher--water in bottom -end of cycle.

You may need to tip the dishwasher forward, use a towel as water will get every where otherwise. once drained put it through another cycle. this should reset the drainage level. hope this works as it has for ours, bye

SOURCE: Dishwasher isn't draining

It could be the pump, but not only. Check first that you don't have any clog in the drain line. If drain line is clean, open machine's rear panel and : - Look if the pump works. If it doesn't work check that pump get power (with multi-meter). In case it get power (and does't work), it should be replaced. - In case the pump works - The machine has a drain valve with an electric solenoid (the drain pipe connected to it). When it get power the valve opens and diverts the water to the drain line. Test that it get power. In case it get power and dosen't work - You can easyly open the valve and clean it (from scale or other dirt). Be aware you should disconnect the power cable from machine before doing it !!!!! Check as well for valve's coil resistance. In case you have no resistance measurement - you should replace for a new valve. Good luck !

SOURCE: Danby DDW1802W Cycle Problems

The fill valve is probably stuck in the full position. It's at the bottom of the tub and looks like a small tube with a cap on it. You should be able to move the cap up and down easily.

SOURCE: Danby portable dishwasher 1805W hose

First cut the hoses off near where they would connect to the plastic quick adapter. Leave a little slack at 2-3 inches between where you cut and the metal clamp.

Take those two pieces you just cut off to home depot or lowes. Afterwards you can chuck them if you don't want them (I did read below). Take the metal faucet adapter with you too.

For the water supply hose (this is the smaller one) need a Hose barb adapter 3/8 Barb x 3/8 FIP

You need a clamp for this.

Get a plastic hose the length you want and the right barb to fit the drain hose and your new hose. You need two clamps. Also you might consider hooking it up to an external water pump depending on your situation. If the hose is long or has to go up above 36 inches then you may need a pump.

Then you want a standard dishwasher connecting kit. They have them from 4-6 feet, they come with a 3/8 brass fitting make sure you get that.

You also need plumbing teflon.

I also wanted to replace the faucet connector because the plastic one it came with leaked all over the place. I got a quick snap that goes to a garden hose. It fits the metal faucet adapter that came with the dishwasher. . I had to get a few connectors to go from the garden hose adapter to the standard dishwasher hose.

Installation. Take the clamp for the supply hose and put it on the hose connected to the dishwasher. Put insert the barb and tighten the clamp.

Put teflon on the 3/8 male connector that came with your standard dishwasher kit. Connect it to the Barb adapter you just installed. Connect your standard dishwasher hose.

Connect the other end. Its pretty straight forward just don't forget to put teflon on any of the thick threads.

From this you can pretty much figure out the rest with the drain hose.

If I were to do it again I probably wouldn't have used the standard dishwasher kit. I would have gotten a cheap plastic tube and connected it. Also if you're happy with the plastic adapter they gave you save the plastic connectors you cut off and you can use another 3/8 barb adapter to connect it to the other end of your extension hose either a simple plastic tube or the standard dishwasher connector.

I have a Danby dishwasher model #DDW1809W that will not fill with water. Lights work, beeps, no errors. When I start the machine I hear some noises but no water. As far as I can tell from reading the pdf...

I would check the water solenoid firstly as the sensor detects water level and if the sensor thought the level was too high, it would command the outlet pump on until the level went down.

My hanseatic dishwasher is beeping and flashing on the little glass symbol and it stopped working.

Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking. The heating element heats up the water to operating temperature. If the water doesn't reach the proper temperature after a set amount of time, a light on the control panel might start flashing. ... If the drain pump is not working, a light on the control panel might start flashing. https://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Dishwasher/28---/Dishwasher-Lights-Flashing-Or-Blinking
Flashing lights and or beep sounds can mean the dishwasher problem was from a power surge or power outage. You can unplug the dishwasher from power or shut off the breaker to the dishwasher for 1 minute. This may reset the dishwasher and get it back to working order.

Hi, my Danby DDW621WDB portable dishwasher is not cleaning/not working properly. I just found out that the sprayer arm is NOT moving at all. I don't know why? Any idea? how to fix etc? THANKS.

The water sprayer rotates counter clockwise, so small bowls should face away from you and saucers/plates should face to the right. Make sure the sprayer spins freely when off.

Danby portable Dishwasher advances from pre-rinse to dry and then beeps continuously and dry light continues to blink. Doesn't proceed, reset or stop cycle. Just continues to blink.

I actually found out (one of) the solution to this by accident. It could be the water source is not providing enough pressure

I purchased a Danby DDW1899W-1 and, using the connector screwed into my utility sink in the basement, I connected the water. When I tried to run a cycle, I had the same results (filled/emptied 4-5 times, beeped and went to dry cycle).

My alternate, long term plan was to put a Y-splitter (with shutoffs) on the hot water line for my washer, and have one hose go to the dishwasher when needed. I purchased a washer line hose from Home Depot and a 3/4" to Quick Connect fitting from Ace Hardware and then connected the dishwasher to this.

And, Voila! Problem solved!!!

To confirm this was the solution, after the first completed cycle, I connected back to the faucet and, once again had the fill/empty/beep/dry problem. Reverting to the split washer water feed, it was able to run the cycles properly (again!!!)

So you may just need a line that will supply more water pressure to the dishwasher.

Good luck and, hopefully, this solves the problem.

Danby portable dishwasher ddw1899wp starts taking in water and then stops working with pre-rinse light blinking. Please help me on this issue. Any answer would be much appreciated.

If the water level sensor does not electrically shut off when the level needed is reached, the pre-rinse cycle will error out thinking that the level has not been reached. That sensor is a float device and probably needs to be replaced...

I have a Danby DDW1899WP portable dishwasher. I just got it yesterday. I had a lot of dirty dishes so I did 1 cycle first and it worked perfectly, I was impressed. I then started a 2nd cycle for the rest...

I realize the above question is almost 4 years old, but I am sure others are still having this problem. My Danby was behaving the same way: drying cycle light would flash like it was having a myocardial infarction, and the cycle would stop. I could only get the light to stop flashing by turning the unit off. What you didn\'t say above is what happens then: everything most likely returns to normal-- or at least, so it seems. I have now had this happen to me two times in a row with my Danby 1899WP. Each time the machine has started up just fine, drains water out, loads in fresh water, and begins the wash cycle, only to freeze up with that damn flashing red light on the dry cycle and the dishes not clean. I have owned it for about two months, and so far this is my only complaint. I am running it again right now, for the third time, and we shall see what that light does now.... Will report back afterward!
