In detail

Won't drain — first steps

Cancel the program and wait 2–3 minutes.
Open the door: water above the filter means a drain issue.
Remove and rinse the bottom filter and mesh.
Check the drain hose isn't kinked behind the unit or at the sink trap.
Run a short cycle again.

If water remains with humming — likely drain pump or valve. Don't open the housing — water + 220 V is dangerous.

Why it won't drain: pump, valve, aquastop

The drain pump empties water after washing. Worn impeller, debris (bone, glass chip), or seized parts stop it.

Overflow triggers if water stays — level sensor blocks a new cycle; error light may blink.

Aquastop inlet hose may shut water after a leak event — check its indicator. Our technician tests pump, hoses, and electrics on site; repair from ~100–150k UZS after inspection.

Poor wash — not just "more detergent"

Clogged spray arms — upper rack gets no pressure.
Low temperature — bad heater or thermostat; grease won't dissolve.
Bad loading — plates block jets.
Hard water — salt and rinse aid needed.
Eco mode — heavily soiled loads need intensive cycle.

Clean arm holes carefully with a toothpick — don't enlarge them. If quality doesn't return after filter and arms — check circulation pump or heater.

DIY vs pro

OK yourself: rinse filter; check hoses; scrape plates; hotter program; add salt and rinse aid.

Not DIY: removing drain pump, heater or board swap, opening aquastop. Risk of flooding or short circuit.

When to call urgently

Water won't drain twice after filter clean.
Grinding or knocking at the pump.
Leak under door or behind unit.
Burning smell, breaker trips.
Cold greasy dishes after intensive wash — suspect heater.
