How to Use This Information:
- Consult Your Manual: This is the most important step. Your manual might list some error codes, but even if it doesn’t, it will have valuable troubleshooting advice.
- Identify the Type of Problem: Use the categories above to figure out what’s likely going wrong (e.g., is it a drainage issue, a water inlet problem, etc.?).
- Troubleshooting: Try the troubleshooting steps listed for the category.
- Contact Kenwood or a Technician: If you can’t find the answer in your manual or the troubleshooting steps don’t work, contact Kenwood support or a qualified appliance repair technician. They have access to more detailed diagnostic information.
Why I Can’t Give Specific Kenwood Codes:
- Proprietary Information: Manufacturers usually keep error code lists confidential.
- Model Variations: The codes change from model to model.
- Misleading Information: Giving you fake codes would be unhelpful and potentially harmful.
Focus on the type of problem and use your manual as your guide. That’s the best approach for dealing with dishwasher errors.
