Yes, most of the time you can fix issues with your dishwasher yourself, without having to contact us.


Firstly, make sure that your dishwasher is clean and that all the filters are clear (not blocked), as these are the most common reasons for issues with a dishwasher. You can read more about cleaning your dishwasher here: https://learn.compactappliance.com/dishwasher-cleaning-tips/


Next, make sure that you are using all of the correct cleaning solutions and products. Your dishwasher will most likely require a regular supply of dishwasher salt and rinse aid to function efficiently. You will also need to make sure that you are using the correct cleaning powder, tablets, or capsules for your type of dishwasher. Please follow the instructions in the user manual for more information on which products to use, how to use them, and how to properly maintain the appliance. If you do not have a copy of the manual, please carry out a simple google search for the make and model of your appliance followed by "user manual" - for instance, "Beko MC342 User Manual" and 9 times out of 10 you'll find an online copy of the manual within seconds.


If you see the tap light flashing regularly it could mean that the dishwasher has been "flooded". In this instance, please leave your dishwasher door open overnight to let the appliance dry out. This should resolve that issue.





NO POWER TO THE APPLIANCE:

If you find that there is no power coming to the appliance at all, then it is most likely that the plug fuse has blown. Please carefully follow the advice shown here to replace the fuse: https://www.rospa.com/home-safety/uk/northern-ireland/electricity/plugs-fuses/replacing-fuses/


After following all of the above advice, if your appliance is still not working correctly, please report it to us at https://letmeproperties.co.uk/report-repair/



Remember, if you report an issue to us and it turns out to be something that you should have done yourself or it is something that is caused by your (or your visitors) actions or failure to act, then you will be liable for the contractor charges.


For more information on the suggested steps above, you can search online to find articles that might be helpful. Our advice is provided in good faith, without any liability accepted by us. You should follow any suggestions with care and attention and if you do not have the skills or know-how required to carry out your tenant-like responsibilities then you ask a competent friend or hire someone to help you.
