Problems (continued)
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 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.
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 is operating. 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.)

•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.
Dishwasher Won’t Fill
