Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems

(continued)

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

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.

Cycle Takes a Long Time

Is cycle in a water heating delay?

Has the delay start option been selected?

Has the sanitize 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 an odor. Use Rinse Only 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 Only cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen staining.

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following instructions:

1.Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.

2.Do not add detergent.

3.Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.

4.Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).

5.Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.

6.Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.

Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.
