Troubleshooting

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly

avoid the cost of a service call...

DISHWASHER IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY

Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

•Is the lid closed tightly and latched?

•Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the “Cycle Selection Charts”.

•Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?

•Has the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripped? Indicator should be in “1” position (See “How to test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)” section).

•Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.

•Is the Drain stopper closed? If it is not closed properly, water indicator indicates there is no water in dishwasher. Failure mode is activated (See Service Instruction”). Reset program, install Drain stopper properly and restart program.

Dishwasher will not fill

• Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?

Dishwasher seems to run too long

•Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs longer while heating water

•A delay automatically occurs in some wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper temperature.

Water remains in the dishwasher

• Is the cycle complete

Odour in the dishwasher

•Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load.

DISHES ARE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAN

Food soil left on the dishes

•Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the “Dishwasher Loading” section.

•Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results, water should be 49°C (120°F) as it enters the dishwasher.

•Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. For best results use “3 in 1” or “4 in 1” tablets. Refer to the “Detergent Use” section.

•Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and cans? If you wash bottles and cans in your dishwasher, check for labels clogging the pump or spray arm.

•Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Never use soap or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents only.

SPOTS AND STAINS ON DISHES

Spotting and filming on dishes

•Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled or use “4 in 1” tablets (try to avoid using “4 in 1” tablets and filled rinse aid dispenser).

•Is the water temperature too low? For best

dishwashing results, water should be 49°C (120°F) as it enters the dishwasher.

NOTE:

To remove spots and film from dishes, try a white vinegar rinse. The procedure is intended for occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

1.Wash and rinse dishes. Remove all silverware or metal items.

2.Put 1 cup (250 ml) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the rack.

3.Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
