And this is the GDF five 10 unit. Now, this particular dishwasher, my friends, we're gonna show you how to get into the critical fold. We're gonna show you how to get into the error code mode or the fault code mode. Also, how to activate service mode so that you can test individual components. And then we're gonna show you how to interpret schematic diagrams so that you can do your electrical component tests.

So that's gonna be what we're gonna be talking about. So let's go right into it, my friends. And the first thing that I do want to mention is the dishwasher critical faults. Now, these faults, okay, lemme just explain to you here. These faults are gonna be flat flashing or blinking lights on the user interface of the dishwasher.

But you don't even have to touch anything to see those lights. Okay? You're basically walk, gonna walk into your tenant's home and you're gonna see the dishwasher. You're gonna look at the display and there's gonna be some blinking lights. If you see that, that is a indication that you have these critical faults and basically the machine will not operate if you have any one of these codes.

Okay? So lemme show you what these codes mean. So if you have two blinks it. Typically means that you have a problem with the board, with the control board, and that would need to be replaced. That's the action item that you see right there. If you have five blinks, it means that the machine is not able to drain properly for whatever reason.

Maybe it's a drain pump, maybe the hose is clogged, whatever the case may be. So that's that. That would be another common code that you might see. Another one that we see is also the. Code number six or six blinks that you'll see on the user interface. And that means that you have a failure to supply water.

Okay? So whether the water valve is bad or the supply line is bad, whatever, whichever one it is that's, that's basically telling you that's the problem. And again, this is going to be a blinking code on the start, LED. Alright? Just like you see in the arrow right there Now. Those codes, okay? Those codes are gonna be vis they're, you're gonna be able to see them immediately as soon as you look at the machine without even having to go into service mode.
