Dishwasher Leaks

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

•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.)

•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.

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 during the drying part of cycle. This is normal.

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.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

•Is cycle in a water heating delay?

•Has the delay start option been selected?

Dishwasher Won't Fill

•Is water supply turned on?

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

Dishwasher Has an Odor

•Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create F

an odor. Use the RINSE HOLD 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.)

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 HOLD cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using the HEATED DRY OFF option will lessen staining.

The interior design of these Kenmore models is also exceptional, featuring adjustable upper racks that can accommodate larger cookware and utensils. The flexible loading options make it easier for users to maximize space according to their specific needs.
