PROBLEM

SOLUTION

 

 

DAMAGE TO DISHWARE

Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading

 

instructions within this guide.)

 

 

BLINKING LIGHTS

If Start/Resume or any status lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, close the

 

door and push START/RESUME. If the dishwasher still will not run call service.

 

 

CLOUDY OR SPOTTED

NOTES:

DISHWARE (AND HARD

■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.

WATER SOLUTION)

■ Use the correct amount of detergent.

 

 

Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes.

 

If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and

 

rinse aid. (See “HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR

 

GLASSWARE] in “Troubleshooting.” If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see

 

below).

 

Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49ºC).

 

Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.

 

To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.

 

■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware

 

and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the

 

lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is

 

needed.

 

 

ETCHING (PERMANENT

This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of:

CLOUDINESS)

water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing.

 

Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is

 

permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the

 

water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming

 

water temperature is below 120°F (49ºC).

 

 

LEAKING WATER

Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.

 

Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only

 

detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try

 

another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.

 

To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid

 

overfilling.

 

 

TUB IS DISCOLORED

NOTES:

 

■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.

 

■ Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.

 

A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean the tub.
