Dishwasher does not turn off: what is the reason

What if the dishwasher does not want to shut down? If a breakdown is detected, do not immediately disassemble the device. Perhaps the problem can be solved by simple manipulations.Consider the possible causes of this phenomenon and try to eliminate them.

Program crash

There are cases when the operation of technology is trivial failure. To solve this problem, it is often enough to turn off and turn on the power. You can try to change the washing program or reset the settings to the factory settings (the reset algorithm is usually specified in the instructions for the device).

Malfunctioning water supply and drain hose

If a breakdown occurs, be sure to check the integrity of the water supply and drain hoses.There are situations when the hose is bent, and the water through it hardly enters the machine or even goes down the drain.

Problem with filter

If you have not washed the filter in time, and food remains stuck in the car, the pump may not cope with the task of pumping out water, thereby causing a breakdown. The same situation may occur if the plastic construction of the filter breaks.

This problem will solve the usual cleaning of the filter and, possibly, its replacement (in case of breakage of the structure).

Sewage blockage

Another cause of breakage can be a blockage in the sewer. The pump is trying to deflate the water, but, alas, to no avail. In this case, cleaning of sewage is required.

Pressure in the plumbing system

A weak addition to the plumbing system or the lack of it can be the reason why the dishwasher does not turn off. In the process of operation of the unit, it is important to monitor this indicator so as not to cause more serious damage.

Automatic leakage protection system

Modern dishwashers are equipped with very sensitive leakage protection. It is a float on the bottom of the unit, which rises and releases water.The water leaves, the float drops, and when the water comes in again, the float rises again. And such a cycle can go on forever. Normal operation of the device will be resumed only after a leak is detected and fixed. If you can not afford it, contact the master.

Sensor failure

It is possible that the dishwasher does not turn off due to a broken water level sensor and needs to be replaced. The replacement can be done independently, or contact the master of repair of household appliances.

Internal malfunctions

If all of the above malfunctions are excluded, most likely the problem lies inside the car. In this case, to determine the fault and eliminate it is necessary to carry out a series of actions:

1. Turn off the power and water supply.
2. Disassemble the dishwasher. As a rule, it is necessary to remove the fixing bolts.
3. Check the timer, heater and thermostat for electrical conductivity. Possible, one of the parts out of order and it needs to be replaced.
4. Check the programmer. The machine may not turn off if the programmer is out of order.In most cases, it is not repairable and needs to be replaced.
5. Inspect motor and pump for blockage. In case of its detection, it is necessary to make cleaning.
6. Check the pump for wear. If the dishwasher does not pump out the water badly, it is likely that the pump power is not enough for normal operation. You should not wait until it finally fails. Replace the pump as soon as possible.
7. Check motor for damage.
8. Inspect the drive belt for damage or signs of wear. If the dishwasher has been in use for a long time, the belt could stretch or become unusable.

If after carrying out all the above-described manipulations, the failure was not identified, it is necessary to contact the service center. Specialists will be able to quickly identify the cause of the fault and eliminate it.
