Technical Details

Repair Steps:

  1. Verify Water Supply and Pressure: Ensure the main water supply to the dishwasher is fully open and that adequate water pressure is present. Check for any kinked hoses or closed shut-off valves feeding the machine.
  2. Inspect the Booster Pump: Safely disconnect power to the MEIKO unit. Access the booster pump and visually inspect it for any signs of physical damage, blockages, or if the motor appears seized. Test the pump’s electrical connections and ensure it’s receiving power when it should.
  3. Examine Rinse Solenoid Valves: With power off, locate the final rinse solenoid valves. Check them for blockages, debris, or proper electrical continuity. A faulty valve may prevent water from entering the booster tank or the rinse arms.
  4. Check Booster Tank Level Sensors: Inspect the level sensors within the booster tank for scale buildup or damage. Clean or replace them if necessary, as inaccurate readings can lead to the control system incorrectly detecting a water loss.
  5. Look for Leaks and Obstructions: Carefully inspect all water lines, connections, and spray arms for any leaks or obstructions that might be diverting or blocking water flow during the final rinse cycle. Ensure spray arms are not clogged.
  6. Reset the Machine: After performing checks and any necessary repairs, restore power to the machine and attempt to clear the error code. Run a test cycle to confirm proper operation and effective final rinsing.
