the cost of a service call...

Dishwasher is not operating properly

Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle Is the door closed tightly and latched?

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

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

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

Dishwasher will not fill

Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.

Dishwasher seems to run too long

Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The dishwasher runs longer while heating water. Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

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?

Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.

White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section.

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

Odor 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.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in “Spotting and filming on dishes” later in this Troubleshooting guide.

Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the counter top? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.

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? If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C). Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section. Never use less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.

Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.

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.

Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. A booster pump on the water supply can be added if pressure is

too low.

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.

Is the water temperature too low? If needed, turn home water heater up to ensure water entering dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C). Refer to the “Dishwasher Efficiency Tips” section.

Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the “Detergent Dispenser” section. Never use less than 1 tb (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra detergent.
