Hisense Dishwasher - HS622E90BUK - E

No, you must only use detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Regular dish soap creates excessive suds that can cause leaks, damage the appliance, and leave residue on dishes.

Make sure you are using rinse aid, as it significantly improves drying performance and reduces water spots. Some cycles may not include a heated dry, or the 'E' energy class might mean less powerful drying. Open the door slightly after the cycle to allow steam to escape and dishes to air dry.

It is recommended to clean the coarse and fine filters at the bottom of the dishwasher after every few cycles, or at least once a week, to maintain optimal cleaning performance and prevent odors.

A 'place setting' refers to the dishes used by one person for a typical meal: a dinner plate, soup bowl, dessert plate, glass, teacup, saucer, knife, fork, and two spoons. A 13 place setting dishwasher can accommodate this amount for 13 people.

Yes, modern dishwashers, especially those with 'Eco' or energy-saving cycles, often run for several hours (2-4 hours is common). This allows for lower water temperatures and less energy consumption while still achieving effective cleaning. Check your manual for specific cycle durations.

A bad odor often indicates food residue buildup. Thoroughly clean the filters, spray arms, and interior seals. Run an empty cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar placed in the top rack to sanitize and deodorize the interior.

Check that the dishwasher is securely plugged into a live power outlet. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check your home's circuit breaker for tripped switches. If a delay start is active, wait for the programmed start time.

Ensure dishes are loaded correctly, allowing water to reach all surfaces. Check that the spray arms are not blocked and can rotate freely. Clean the dishwasher filters. Verify you're using enough detergent and that it's suitable for your water hardness. Check the water supply pressure.

Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the dishwasher's filter system thoroughly. Check your sink's drain and air gap (if present) for obstructions. Ensure the drain pump isn't blocked (refer to your manual for accessing this part).

Check the door seal for any debris or damage. Ensure the dishwasher is level. Verify that the water inlet and drain hose connections are tight and not leaking. Do not overfill the detergent dispenser, as excessive suds can cause leaks.

Check for loose items inside the dishwasher (e.g., cutlery or small items falling through racks). Ensure the spray arms are not hitting dishes. If it's a grinding noise, it could indicate an issue with the drain pump; clean filters and check for foreign objects.
