It turns out that the plumber did not unblock the entry point to the waste disposal, where the drain pipe was attached, so it wouldn’t empty. I’ve attached it to another spiggot, and for now everything’s cool.

Happy New Year, and thanks again.

Cheers Jim

It empties ok into a bucket under the sink – I haven’t yet tried it at a higher level, ie into the sink.

Under the sink, it connects to an inlet tube at the side of the waste disposal unit. I’ll check that soon.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Re: New Whirlpool ADG 8836 Dishwasher won’t work

by ‘magnetic drain pump’ – do you mean the fattening of the pipe end with the ‘lightning bolt’ electricity symbol? Because if so, that is connected to the mains water supply. I’ve had the machine right out with the same results and there is definitely no kinking in the pipes.

Is it possible the pipes have been wrongly connected? I looked at the installation manual myself ande verything seems ok according to that…

It seems that the drainage pipe is fitted too high up under the sink, so the pump is unable to empty the machine’s final cycle. I know it sounds strange, but would shortening the pipe help? I have a pneumatic switch for the waste disposal unit which only worked after shortening the air hose – previously, the air pressure was not enough to trigger the switch. Would this be a similar situation? Or does the spiggot need to be lower?

Merry Xmas from Poland!

yes and no

Just notice there is a small amount of water in the bottom of the machine.

Also, the start light flashes 4 times, tying in, I suppose, with the F4 error code.
