What this family is
The AVDWP label covers the models listed in the table below, and they are portable dishwashers rather than a single machine. A portable makes and breaks its water connections by hand every wash, and handled joints fail before permanent ones.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each fault is covered
- Leaking during a cycle — Foam on the floor rather than clean water, which is detergent rather than a fault. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-avdwp-dishwasher-water-leak — Title: Avanti AVDWP Dishwasher: Water Leak
- Dishes coming out dirty — Grit on the back of the lower rack, or a film on glassware. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-avdwp-dishwasher-cleaning-performance — Title: Avanti AVDWP Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry
- Water standing in the tub — Dirty water standing in the tub, or clean water that returns after it empties. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-avdwp-dishwasher-drainage-failure — Title: Avanti AVDWP Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
- Will not start at all — Nothing at all, with other sockets nearby also dead. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-avdwp-dishwasher-wont-start — Title: Avanti AVDWP Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
Problem classes in frequency order on the AVDWP family
- Leaking during a cycle — Leads on the AVDWP numbers, because a portable makes and breaks its water connections by hand every wash, and handled joints fail before permanent ones.
- Dishes coming out dirty — The largest class by volume, and the one where loading and water temperature explain most cases.
- Water standing in the tub — Frequent, and dominated by the filter, the hose route and the installation rather than the pump.
- Will not start at all — Infrequent, and most often a supply or a latch rather than a component.

What is owner work on these models
On this family the owner's side of the line is everything you can reach without a panel coming off: spray arms, filters, hoses, the door latch and the supply. The line itself is the drain pump, the door switch and the control board, all behind panels on a machine that holds water.
