Symptom / Description

FAULT

Leak detected in base pan

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

The dishwasher has detected water in the base pan underneath the tub, indicating a leak or an over-sudsing condition.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Turn off power and water to the dishwasher. Check for obvious leaks from hoses or the pump. Using too much or the wrong type of detergent can also cause over-sudsing.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect electrical mains plug or trip dedicated circuit breaker before servicing.
  • !Wait at least 5 minutes before opening any casing panels to reset volatile microcontrollers and bleed residual charges.
  • !Operate in a dry workshop environment; never bypass internal electrical thermal cutouts.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Check appliance leveling with a spirit level; adjust threaded leveling feet for perfect stability.
  • Check door and lid perimeter rubber gaskets for tears, gaps, or foreign object obstruction.
  • Inspect shock absorbers, suspension springs, and rubber dampers for mechanical fatigue or excessive play.
