Dishwashers

TRY: Run the tap in the sink, does the water run down the sink drain? (Be careful with the water not to waste much). If it doesn’t then you require a plumber, not a Whitegoods Technician.

If the sink drains away, next check under the sink. Is the drain hose (grey in colour and ribbed, most times) kinked, trapped or crushed. I
have seen on one occasion that so many carrier bags were jammed under the kitchen sink, that when the cupboard door is shut they have crushed the hose. Most times though it is bins, bottles, pans etc.

Or if it is the lever type, then the lever needs pointing in the direction of the pipe.
