Status Indicators
Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status indicators.
Sensing Soak
Your dishwasher senses the soil level on the dishes. Soil level determines the length of some cycles, the amount of heat or water added, and the cycle needed for the load. Soaks help loosen soils on the dishes.
Sensing Soak glows during the sensing and soak parts of the cycle. Wash action continues while sensing occurs. Wash action pauses during a soak.
Add a Dish
After a cycle starts, you can add an item to your dishwasher while Add a Dish glows. After the light turns off, items added to the dishwasher may not be completely cleaned.
Water Heating
Water Heating glows, and the cycle progression pauses, whenever water is heated to a set temperature during a cycle.
Wash or rinse action continues as the water heats.
Clean
Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open and close the door or press the Cancel pad.
Sanitized
If you select the SANI RINSE™ option, Sanitized glows when the SANI RINSE™ cycle is finished. If your dishwasher did not properly sanitize your dishes, the light flashes at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted or the incoming water temperature is too low. The light goes off when you open and close the door.

NOTE: Periodically check the coarse strainer and remove any objects on the strainer.
Drying System
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as the heat dries your dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector from moving up or down.
