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 (49°C) 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 1/2hour.
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
