Electrolux Built-In Dishwasher 26

26 Solutions to Common Problems

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.

• Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to increase and decrease at regular

intervals during cycles.

WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF THE TUB

• It is not normal for water to remain in the bottom of the tub at the end of a

cycle. If water remains in the bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle, the

dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Properly, page 27.) The filter may also need to be cleaned. (See Care of

Filter, page 21.)

Note: It is normal to see a small amount of water under the

filter at the end of a cycle.

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, pages 8-12.)

• Check to see if the DELAY START option has been selected.

• Make sure door is closed and latched.
