SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

Detergent Left in Cups

•Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.

•Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray from entering the detergent cup.

•Check to see if cycle has been completed.

•Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Dishwasher Leaks

•Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.

Normal Sounds You Will Hear

•Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor sounds.

•There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash action switches between the lower and middle spray arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own sound.

•It is normal for the dishwasher to pause (no sound) when the wash action is switching between the lower and middle spray arms.

•See Normal Operating Sounds on page 3.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

•Is cycle in a water heating delay?

•Has the delay start option been selected?

•Has the sanitize option been selected? Selecting this option will lengthen the cycle.

•Consult Cycle Chart for Normal cycle times.

Dishwasher Has an Odor

•Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.

•There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This is normal.

•Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

•Soils remaining on the heating element will create an odor during the drying cycle.

Stains on Tub Interior

•Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not affect performance and will gradually fade over time.

Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using air dry option will lessen staining.

Dishwasher Won’t Run

•Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is blown.

•Make sure water supply is turned on.

•Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See Operating Instructions.)

•Is dishwasher set for delay start option?

•Make sure door is closed and latched.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

•If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

•Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed from inside the food waste disposer inlet.

•Check to see if drain hose is kinked.

•Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:

1.Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.

2.Do not add detergent.

3.Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.

4.Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).

5.Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

6.Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

Dishwasher Won’t Fill

•Is water supply turned on?

•Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)

NOTE

If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
