Solutions to Common

(continued)

Detergent Left in Cups

•Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.

•Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.

•Check to see if cycle has been completed.

•Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser from opening.

Dishwashing Problems

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.

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.

•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.)

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 the QUICK RINSE 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 QUICK RINSE cycle will reduce the chance of staining. Using the AIR DRY option will lessen staining.

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.
