Problem

Solution

 

 

 

 

Dishwasher leaks

• Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation

 

 

Instructions.)

 

 

• Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent

 

carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher.

 

Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent

 

if sudsing continues. (pg. 15)

 

 

• Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 9).

 

 

• To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is

 

 

securely attached.

 

 

 

Indicator lights flashing

• All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running

 

cycle or delay.

 

 

• The currently selected cycle flashes if an attempt is made to change

 

the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.

 

 

• The locked indicator flashes if a pad is pressed while the child lock is

 

enabled. (pg. 20)

 

 

 

 

Glasses are cloudy/spotted

• Select Hi Temp option.

 

 

• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).

 

• Always use a rinse aid.

 

 

• Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white

 

vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due

 

to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water

 

hardness (pg. 15). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a

 

high quality brand.

 

 

• If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the

 

surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too

 

 

hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent

 

needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware

 

is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the

 

 

detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and

 

use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is

 

below 120° F (49° C).

 

 

 

Dishware is chipped

• Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other

 

(pgs. 11-12).

 

 

• Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not

 

 

recommended. (pg. 7)

 

 

• Do not load glasses over the tines.

 

 

• Do not overload
