TROUBLESHOOTING

First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...

• White residue on the front of the access panel

Dishwasher is not operating properly

Was too much detergent used? Refer to the "Detergent

• Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle

Dispenser" section.

Is the door closed tightly and latched?

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

Is the right cycle selected? Refer to the "Cycle Selection Charts."

Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.

Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.

Is the water shut-off valve (if installed) turned on?

It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the wash cycle.

•Odor in the dishwasher

Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle once or twice a day until you have a full load.

Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar rinse as described in "Spotting and filming on dishes" later in this Troubleshooting guide.

•Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)

Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.
