The AVDWP family in short
The AVDWP family is the Avanti dishwasher line whose model numbers carry the AVDWP stem, and the roster on this page lists every model it covers. Across these machines the complaints divide into four groups, and the largest by some distance is poor cleaning — which on this appliance is nearly always a restriction rather than a failure.
What goes wrong on these models, and where to read about it
- Dishes coming out dirty, gritty or filmed — Decide which of the three you have, then read the cleaning page for these models.
- Water standing in the bottom at the end of a cycle — Listen at the drain step: a hum and a silence lead to different halves of the drainage page.
- The panel responds but no cycle begins — Read the panel before pressing anything again — the start page for these models works through locks, delays and the latch.
- Water on the floor or running down the door — Close the supply valve first. This is the one fault here fed at mains pressure.
Ranked by how often we see them on this family
- Poor cleaning and filming — The largest group on this family and on the class.
- Cycles that never begin — Third, and nearly always something inhibiting the machine rather than something that has failed in it.
- Leaks from the door and the connections — Least frequent of the four but the most urgent, because the supply side is at mains pressure whenever the machine is connected.
- Standing water at the end of a cycle — Second. On these models the blockage is as often in the household waste as inside the machine.

Which of these you can deal with yourself
What decides this on the AVDWP family is whether the fault is above the tub floor or below it. Above it — filter, arms, seal, hoses, settings — is yours.
