Dishware Stained or Discolored, Etching

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems (continued)

Dishware Stained or Discolored

•Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

•Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown film. A special filter installed in the water supply line will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and Film.)

•Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when they rub against other items. Load properly.

•Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the Rinse/Hold cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.

•Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

Etching

•Using too much detergent in soft or softened water causes this film that cannot be removed.

•Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)

•Lower the water temperature.

•Use the Heat Dry Off option.

Dishwasher Leaks

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

•Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.

•Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See Installation Instructions.)

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

Water in Bottom of Tub

•Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

Vapor at Vent

•Water vapor escapes from the vent when the dishwasher goes into the drying part of cycle. This is normal.

Detergent Left in Cups

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

•Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.

•Check to see if cycle has been completed.

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

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.
