DISHWASHER DOES | NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle. | |
NOT RUN | If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME. | |
| ||
| Be sure the door is closed and latched. | |
| Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at | |
| the back of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and | |
| latched. | |
| Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information.”) | |
| Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. | |
| If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for | |
| service. | |

THE DISPENSER OR | be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly. | |

Be sure the cycle has completed (green or blue light is on). If it has not completed, you will | ||
| ||
| need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME. |
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG | NOTES: |
| ■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that |
| typically run for up to 3 hours. |
| ■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while |
| heating cooler water. |
| ■ Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Information” section.) |
| The Heated Dry option adds ½ hour. |
| Try the 1 Hr Wash cycle. |
| Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle. |
|
|
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING | NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a |
| porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. |
| Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying. |
| Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this |
| guide.) |
| Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items |
| when unloading. |
| ■ Unload the bottom rack first. |
| ■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results. |
|
|
WILL NOT FILL | Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher. |
| Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See “Parts and Features.”) |
| Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not |
| operate properly or may not fill with water. |
