water	lines. If	your dishwasher	is	left	in a	seasonal	dwelling	or could		be exposed
to near	freezing	temperatures,	have		your	dishwasher	winterized		by	authorized
service	personnel.

PROBLEM iSOLUTION

DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN

TROUBLESHOOTING

CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.

NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.

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.

DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG

DISHWASHER NOT DRYING

Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.

Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.

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.

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 (49°C) is besh the dishwasher will delay longer while heating cooler water.

•Some options will add time to the cycle. (See "Cycles and Options Information" section.) The Smart Dry option adds 1/2 hour.

Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle.

Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

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 Smart 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.
