Q: Why doesn't my FAR LV13C49M19IX dishwasher drain water properly at the end of the cycle?

First, check these three points , which are the most common causes of insufficient drainage: 1. Clean the entire filtering system The FAR LV13C49M19IX has a triple filtration system (coarse filter, flat filter, and fine filter) that needs to be cleaned regularly. After each use, remove visible debris and rinse the filters under running water. A complete cleaning is recommended once a week to prevent gradual blockage. 2. Inspect the drainage hose The drainage hose must not exceed 1000 mm in height and must never be bent, pinched, or kinked . Check that the hose is not twisted against the wall or stuck behind the machine. A simple pressure can completely block drainage. 3. Check your sink's drainage If the drainage hose connects to your sink, ensure that it drains normally.

If the problem persists after cleaning the filter and checking the hose, consult the complete troubleshooting section of your manual for further diagnostics.

Question 1

Why doesn't my FAR LV13C49M19IX dishwasher drain water properly at the end of the cycle?

Accepted Answer

First, check these three points, which are the most common causes of insufficient drainage:

1. Clean the entire filtering system

The FAR LV13C49M19IX has a triple filtration system (coarse filter, flat filter, and fine filter) that needs to be cleaned regularly. After each use, remove visible debris and rinse the filters under running water. A complete cleaning is recommended once a week to prevent gradual blockage.

2. Inspect the drainage hose

The drainage hose must not exceed 1000 mm in height and must never be bent, pinched, or kinked. Check that the hose is not twisted against the wall or stuck behind the machine. A simple pressure can completely block drainage.

3. Check your sink's drainage

If the drainage hose connects to your sink, ensure that it drains normally. A clogged sink will prevent the dishwasher from draining, even if the machine is functioning correctly.

After these checks: Run a complete cycle and observe if the water drains properly. If the problem persists after cleaning the filter and checking the hose, consult the complete troubleshooting section of your manual for further diagnostics.

Question 2

My FAR LV10C49M19W dishwasher is making noise and won't turn off - how do I stop it?

Accepted Answer

This problem generally combines two situations. Here’s how to resolve them:

The dishwasher is making noise

On the FAR LV10C49M19W, noise often occurs during the washing cycle:

Thumping noise - The spray arms are hitting poorly positioned dishes. Rearrange the items to clear space around the rotating arms.
Clattering - Cutlery or small utensils are moving in the basket. Put them back in place or use the basket designed for cutlery.

The dishwasher won't turn off

If the appliance stays on after the cycle:

Wait for the beep - Once the program is finished, the appliance emits a beep for 8 seconds. Only then, press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
Check the door - A poorly closed door may prevent complete shutdown. Close the door properly and try again.
Standby mode activated - If the ON/OFF button does not respond immediately, the appliance may be in standby mode. It will turn off automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity.

If the dishwasher continues to make abnormal noise after these checks or if the ON/OFF button still does not respond, cut off the power supply at the outlet or circuit breaker and contact customer service. An electrical fault or a problem with the control system may be involved.
