Understanding Defy dishwasher faults
A quick look at what's usually behind the two most common call-outs, so you know what to expect.
Defy Dishwasher Not Draining
A Defy dishwasher that won't drain is usually down to a blocked filter or sump, a clogged or kinked drain hose, a faulty drain pump, or a blocked air gap or non-return valve. We check the filter and sump area first, since food debris build-up there is by far the most common cause.
Defy Dishwasher Not Cleaning Properly
Poor cleaning results usually trace back to blocked or worn spray arm jets, a failing circulation pump, a faulty heating element (many cycles rely on heat to dissolve detergent and grease), or incorrect water pressure reaching the machine. We check the spray arms and pump before looking at the heating and electronic components.
