    Exclamation DishWasher Help

    i have a Haier HDW101SS (EURO) Stainless Steel Dishwasher. Im confused on how the inlet and outlet hoses are conected. i installed it but it wasn't loading much water thru the filter area and the washes arn't turning. It was connected to the hot water tap and now it just drains constantly.im hoping to save money on a installer and do it myself and any help would be very much appreciated..

    sounds like it is flood mode, some water has gotten into the bottom tray.
    Is it possible to tilt the d/w so that the water can be emptied out?

    The outlet hose goes onto the pipe that comes off the trap under the sink.
    I don't want to insult you but if this is a new install, did you drill out the center of this pipe before connecting the outlet hose to it?
    If this is just a replacement dishwasher,obviously it has already been done.

    The inlet hose should just screw onto the tap under the sink.
    Also check if any packing has been left in the machine under filters etc.

    the sink has a t conector off the hot water tap 1 to the d/w and the other to the tap.the d/w drains good the pipe has a hole..i have notice that there is 2 holes 1 on top and 1 on the bottom of the cabinet where the hoses go.do i feed them from the top or the bottom and the hose that pumps the water into the d/w is there a certain way or angle it must be done. If its a flood mode which way do i tilt it and does it have to be running.thanks

    i gave it a tilt twice - alot of water ended up on the floor then i turned it on and it sounds like its draining alot. when it fills up the filter with water it comes out slightly and for a short time, the crome things dont spin around it just sit there also..

    Have you tried to run the tap under the cabinet without the hose connected to ensure the tap washer isn't stuck (place a bucket to catch the water.

    According to the manual there is only one inlet hole which can be either connected to hot or cold supply

    When you say two holes in the cabinet do you mean the kitchen cabinet? or the dishwaher itself?
    If it is the kitchen cabinet then I would run all hoses through the lower hole in the cabinet side.

    The drain hose shouse already come attached to the dishwasher and only require attaching to the sink drain and clamp applied or it will leak


    You did place the antiflood box that came with the dishwasher inline with the inlet hose I assume

    I think if you know someone who may be able to have a look as a second set of eyes it may be worth your while also

    I would be slightly worried about the heating element getting red hot as this should always be covered with water, then I remembered when we got our new dishwasher the first couple of runs the element smelt like really hot but I think this is only burning the protective lining of the surface of it.

    Have you also tried different cycles to test them?

    That "power box"is usually a sensor if a hose has burst to stop the water flow and avoid flooding. It sounds like the inlet hose is leaking at the machine end and the box is shutting off the water because it thinks a hose has burst.....check the inlet connection into the machine.
    It would explain why the water only fills the dishwasher for a short time and why you got water leaking out on tilting the machine.

    The outlet/drain hose usually has to loop up to a certain height( should say in the book or there is a bracket up high on the rear of the unit) before coming down into your drain, so run this hose high through your cabinet (almost sink plug level).
    The outlet/drain water has to actually be pumped out, if the hose does not loop up the water can siphon( to the wrong level) or just drain out.
    The tap/pressure line can be through any cabinet hole.
    Hope that makes sense, its late, big day.

    I was just thinking that myself...

    I had a woman once who insisted on installing her own machine, then called me to come and take it away because "it wasn't washing the dishes properly".

    I had asked her if she knew how to install it when I dropped it off and she was fiercely adamant she knew.

    Anyway, I go out there to pick it up and find that she had drilled a hole in the wall at floor height, through which she had pushed the drain hose, the other end of which was pointing down into the gully trap outside.

    So, what was happening was the machine was trying to fill up, but the water was just draining straight out again!

    As mentioned above, there needs to be a non-return loop in the hose and it must travel above the height of the bottom tray of the washer so that the water can't just run straight out or syphon when the pump turns off.

    I had everything setup the correct way my neighbour had come over and checked it out, he checked the cycles whilst the door was open and it was filling up water ok. due to the brand of the D/W apparently it only needs a small amount. He noticed the spray arm wasn't working so he pulled the sides off to chech it out. He ran it and found no leakes then realised the fan on the motor wasn't spinning,he has no idea what to do with the motor as he was only looking for leaks, is the motor stuffed, is it worth fixing as its quite a new d/w or is there a way to kickstart it.
