18Solutions to Common Problems

IMPORTANT

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

•Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 5.) It should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.)

•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 90 pounds per square inch (psi).

•Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.)

•Use fresh detergent.

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