Problem	Possible Causes	What To Do
Dishes and flatware	Low inlet water temperature	• Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see page 6). Turn on
not clean			the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water
			temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off
			the faucet. This insures the entering water is hot.
	Water pressure is temporarily low • Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?
			If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.
	Air gap or disposer is clogged	• Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
	Improper rack loading	• Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent dispenser
			or the wash arms. See the Loading the dishwasher racks section.
	No air gap or high drain loop	• Verify that you have an air gap or a high drain loop. Refer to
			the Installation Instructions.
Spots and filming	Extremely hard water	•	Use Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents to remove spots and
