From what you're describing, there might be an issue with the detergent reacting with something in the water. Also, check the water temperature. Any detergent needs to have HOT water--at least 120 degrees or above to activate and clean properly! I also recommend ALWAYS using the high temp wash, boost, or whatever it's called to keep the water very hot throughout the cycle if your washer has that feature.

sounds like a draining issue or a stuck drain pump

I have a idea if you give me 30 mins. I could find some information.

new catch neaded

heater or thermostat

check pump

Jerry had two good First Checks with the water level and the temperature. Turn on the dishwasher and open the door after it completes filling and check the level and temperature.

A third possibility if the level and temperature are correct is that your dishwasher is not spraying enough water around. This could be due to a faulty pump, but more often I see a reduced spray from a clogged filter on the input to the pump.

You can check the amount of spray by waiting until it starts the wash cycle and open the door quickly. Water should be pouring off the upper rack and you should either have water come out of the door or have it be very close to spraying out.

Some dishwasher models have an easily accessible filter, others take some tools to get down to it.

What is the model number of the dishwasher? This will be on a plaque on either the right or left side of the door or on the top, depending on when the unit was manufactured. With that information, try http://www.hotpointservice.co.uk/manual/ if you are in Europe. In the US, GE manufactures the dishwashers with the Hotpoint name, see http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/ to look up any available documentation with the model number. Note: if your dishwasher is very new or very old, the documentation may not be available online. (The new manuals will probably be posted in a few months.) I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

Perhaps you can purchase these in the country you live? or even in the store you bought the dishwasher? I live in Europe and try to solve tex=cnical questions, not related to any country or any shop. Perhaps a pro or a shop is reading this question, but then it could be handy, if they knew where you are purchasing from.

you need to check with a apliance repairman

Could be something as simple as your circuit breaker which is usually seperate from other breakers, so always look for the easiest solution first. If you have no lights, if your dishwasher is like most with indicators for cycle selection, then it is a power issue. If no noise at all, sounds like no power. Good luck, Asthma-Free-Home.com
