含义
6-1 表示洗碗机底部底盘的浮子开关被触发，检测到底盘内有积水。底盘内侧底部安装有一个聚苯乙烯浮子和微动开关组合的防溢检测装置，当内胆或管路有渗漏水流到底盘时，浮子随水位上浮顶起微动开关臂，开关闭合后主控板显示 6-1 代码并停止所有进水及洗涤功能，同时可能自动启动排水泵以降低溢水风险。
常见原因
- 洗涤剂用量过多或误用高泡洗涤剂，产生大量泡沫溢出内胆后被消泡形成液体流入底盘。
- 门封条局部老化或不均匀贴合，高速喷淋时水从缝隙溅出沿门内侧流到底盘。
- 内胆不锈钢焊缝处微小针孔或密封胶老化，在满水高压洗涤时缓慢渗水。
- 循环泵或排水泵的轴封（机械密封）磨损渗漏，水沿泵轴渗入底盘。
- 进水电磁阀膜片老化关不严，待机状态下仍有微量水持续流入并溢出到底盘。
- 喷淋臂有裂缝或旋转密封件老化，水从非设计方向喷出溅射到内胆壁外。
- 加装的软水器或连接管路接头处密封圈失效，发生滴漏。
自助排查
- 立即断开洗碗机电源，打开门，用手电筒照射内胆底部和底盘（需从踢脚板下方观察或拆卸踢脚板），确认积水程度。
- 用干毛巾或海绵吸干底盘积水，检查积水颜色：清水说明是进水泄漏，带有洗涤剂泡沫或食物残渣的浊水说明来自洗涤过程泄漏。
- 确认使用的是洗碗机专用低泡洗涤剂，用量按照洗涤剂仓指示线添加，不要过量。
- 检查门封条整圈是否有局部变形、老化裂纹或脱落，用湿布擦净后检查贴合密封性。
- 用手触摸进水管和排水管接头处是否有潮湿或水滴，确认接头已拧紧。
- 擦干底盘后，不放入餐具运行一个空洗短程序，在洗涤和排水阶段观察底盘是否再次积水，确定泄漏发生在哪个阶段。
- 若空洗测试中底盘再次积水且无法确定漏点位置，说明为内部密封件或管路隐蔽泄漏，需联系凯膳怡售后拆机打压检测。
English
Meaning
6-1 indicates that the float switch in the dishwasher’s base pan has been triggered, detecting accumulated water in the base pan. A leak detection device consisting of a polystyrene float and microswitch assembly is installed at the bottom of the base pan. When leakage from the tub or plumbing reaches the base pan, the float rises with the water level and lifts the microswitch arm. Once the switch closes, the main control board displays code 6-1, stops all water fill and wash functions, and may automatically activate the drain pump to reduce overflow risk.
Common Causes
- Excessive detergent or misuse of high-foaming detergent has produced large amounts of suds that overflow the tub; the foam collapses into liquid that collects in the base pan.
- The door gasket is locally aged or unevenly seated; high-pressure spraying forces water through the gap, which runs down the inside of the door into the base pan.
- The stainless steel tub has a micro-pinhole at a weld seam or the sealing compound has aged, allowing slow water seepage during full-tub high-pressure wash cycles.
- The circulation pump or drain pump shaft seal (mechanical seal) is worn and leaking; water seeps along the pump shaft into the base pan.
- The water inlet solenoid valve diaphragm is aged and does not close tightly; during standby, a small trickle of water continues to flow in and overflows into the base pan.
- The spray arm has a crack or the rotating seal has aged; water sprays in an unintended direction and splashes outside the tub wall.
- An added water softener or its connection hose fitting has a failed sealing ring, causing drips.
Self-Check Steps
- Immediately disconnect power, open the door, and use a flashlight to inspect the bottom of the tub and the base pan (visible from below the toe kick panel or by removing the toe kick); determine the extent of water accumulation.
- Soak up the water in the base pan with dry towels or a sponge and note the water color: clear water suggests an inlet-side leak, while cloudy water with detergent foam or food particles suggests a wash-process leak.
- Confirm you are using dishwasher-specific low-foam detergent; follow the fill line in the detergent dispenser and do not overfill.
- Inspect the entire door gasket for localized deformation, age cracks, or sections that have come loose; clean with a damp cloth and check the sealing fit.
- Feel around the inlet and drain hose connections with your hand for dampness or water droplets; confirm the fittings are tight.
- After drying the base pan, run an empty short cycle without dishes; observe during both the wash and drain phases whether water re-accumulates in the base pan to pinpoint which phase the leak occurs in.
- If water re-accumulates during the empty-cycle test and the leak source cannot be identified, the leak is an internal seal or concealed plumbing leak — contact KitchenAid after-sales service for a disassembly and pressure test.
