The list of the most common parts that may wear out over time and require replacement is the impeller (lower or upper sprinkler), the quality of dishwashing depends on it; circulation pump responsible for water supply; TEN, heating water to the required temperature; a drain pump that drains dirty water into the sewer, as well as a sealing gum, the wear of which is fraught with leaks in the dishwasher.

Besides, after many years of operation, some dishwasher modules fail the capacitor, as a result of which the machine refuses to work or draws water, hums, but does not go further. Some users had to replace the Aquastop hose, which is responsible for the flow of the unit. Having made the decision to independently change the parts of the dishwasher, you need to remember that spare parts should only be purchased original.

Before you start using a new dishwasher, it is recommended to carefully study the instructions for use, which also describes in detail the installation process of the device, including the removal of all seals and clamps used for safe transportation, water supply, drainage arrangement (to the sewage system or by draining a hose into the sink ) and connect the device to the mains.

The most important and problematic for beginners is precisely the first launch of the device, which includes the following steps.

• Load the dishes into the work area.
• Pour salt, detergent and rinse aid into a special compartment.
• Close the door and start the device using the "Start" button. The machine will start working after 10 minutes.

Regular use of the dishwasher can over time clog the filter, which in turn will block water from escaping from the container of the appliance. To fix this problem, you need to clean the filter, consisting of the following steps:

• perform forced drainage of water - turn on a special button on the control panel;
• control the whole process;
• disconnect the device from the mains;
• shut off the water supply;
• cover the floor with well-absorbent textile napkins;
• carefully remove the filter cover at the bottom of the machine, as well as the cover of the compartment where the salt is poured;
• let the remaining water drain off by tilting the device to one side;
• thoroughly wash the inside of the machine and dry it dry.
