SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in

your dishwasher.

Food Soils Left on Dishes

•Choose another cycle for longer washing time.

•Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items.

•Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).

•Check incoming water temperature. It should be close to 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)

•Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)

•Use fresh detergent.

•Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms, preventing them from rotating.

Dishes not Dry

•Select heat dry option.

•Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.

•Increase the discharge setting of rinse aid. (See Rinse Aid.)

•Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is close to least 120°F (49°C).

•Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.

•Plastic items may need to be towel dried.

•Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load them at the far left and right of the upper rack so they will be held in a tipped position.

Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy

•Check water hardness and adjust amount of detergent. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Chart.)

•Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting Performance.)

•Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes.)

•Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
