Is the water supply turned on?

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

Allow cycle to finish. A small amount of water remaining is normal.

Check the drain air gap (if installed). If it is clogged, follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.

Has the cycle completed?

Is the detergent fresh and dry without lumps? See page 10.

Is the bottom rack in backwards? The rack bumpers must face the dishwasher door.

Do not use AIR DRY option on the next toad. See page 13.

Is too much detergent being used? See page 10 for recommended amounts of detergent.

Some liquid detergents develop excess foam and residue on panel. Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.
