Wesuggestyoufollow thesefivesteps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems oflen result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

If your dishwasher will not run, or stops during a cycle:

lIs the door tightly closed and securely latched? l Has the cycle been correctly set?

. Is the water turned on?

lHave you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

. Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

lIf the motor has stopped because of an overload, it will automatically reset itself within a few min- utes. If the motor does not start, call for service.

If your dishwasher seems to run too long:

lAre you using POTS & PANS Cycle? The dish- washer may be waiting for the water to heat.

lIs your household water temperature set too low? Low water temperature settings will cause longer dishwasher operating times.

If water remains in the dishwasher:

lHas the cycle completed?

lA small amount of remaining water is normal. l Is drain air gap clogged?

If detergent remains in the covered detergent cup:

lIs the bottom rack in backwards?

(The rack bumpers should be at the front.)

lIs the dishwasher detergent fresh? l Is the cycle completed?

If you hear grinding, grating, crunching, buzzing sounds:

A hard object has probably entered the POWER CLEAN Module. The sound should stop when the object is ground up.
