I can't figure out a beeping noise
About once an hour I hear a single beep coming from the front of my coach. It's a 2014/15 Newmar King Aire. The beep is coming from the ****pit or generator bay in front of the ****pit. I don't k...

BTW, does your dishwasher lock itself when you close the door? And is it hooked up to the inverter or the main power? We can't open our drawer unless we are plugged in or on generator. I can change that so the door doesn't lock, but then I'm afraid it might open when we are underway.
Holstein13, I know this is far fetched, especially, since you said the beeping is coming from the front of the motorhome. We have a remote control for the dishwasher. I found the remote not realizing what it was for and hit the button.
The dishwasher was waiting for me to hit start.... it kept beeping, not every minute, but every so often. The only way to get it to stop was to run the dishwasher. All is good now.

Hi Holstein, we have the same brand dishwasher (Fisher Paykel) in the new coach as we did in the old one. The difference is that the new one does not have the stainless steel front, it has the same wood as the cabinets. There are no controls or displays on the exterior, all are on the inside. Even though the old one had all the controls on the inside, it did have display on the outside so that you could see the remaining time left.
I don't really see the point of having a remote, it's very small, the size of a credit card. When I want to start the dishwasher, I just select the type of wash by toggling through the choices then hit start and close the door. The one thing I don't understand is that water will stand in the trough at the bottom of the dishwasher where there is a clip-in screen. Our other one did the same thing. Using the dishwasher often would make this a non-issue. If fact, I never knew water was in this area until I removed the screen (same as the old one).
Our dishwasher doesn't lock when it's off, it does have a soft lock as you have to pull the door open with a little tug. I'm not sure how it's wired as we have four 3,500 watt inverters (I'm still learning about our systems). I generally wouldn't think of running the dishwasher going down the road and 99.9% of the time we'll be connected to shore power when stopped for the night.
