What this family is
Everything under the DW label in the table below is one platform: built-in dishwashers, built the same way and failing in the same order. A slim tub shadows its spray arm sooner than a wide one, so loading outranks every mechanical cause.
What goes wrong on these models, and where each fault is covered
- Dishes coming out dirty — Items that come out dirty in the same place every wash. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-dw-dishwasher-cleaning-performance — Title: Avanti DW Dishwasher: Does Not Clean or Dry
- Leaking during a cycle — A puddle that only shows up on the longest programmes. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-dw-dishwasher-water-leak — Title: Avanti DW Dishwasher: Water Leak
- Will not start at all — A machine that beeps but will not run, which means the control is alive. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-dw-dishwasher-wont-start — Title: Avanti DW Dishwasher: Will Not Start or No Power
- Water standing in the tub — A pump that hums at the end of the cycle with nothing moving. — Slug: avanti-avanti-dishwasher-dw-dishwasher-drainage-failure — Title: Avanti DW Dishwasher: Will Not Drain
Problem classes in frequency order on the DW family
- Dishes coming out dirty — Leads on the DW numbers, because a slim tub shadows its spray arm sooner than a wide one, so loading outranks every mechanical cause.
- Leaking during a cycle — Frequent, and resolved by a gasket, a coupler washer or a connection under the sink in most cases.
- Will not start at all — Infrequent, and most often a supply or a latch rather than a component.
- Water standing in the tub — A frequent call, and usually a blocked filter or a badly routed hose rather than a failed pump.

What is owner work on these models
Owner work on these models stops where the tools start: spray arms, filters, hoses, the door latch and the supply are all yours. Past that, at the drain pump, the door switch and the control board, all behind panels on a machine that holds water, it is a technician's job.
