Status Indicators

Follow the progress of your dishwasher with the Cycle Status indicators.

Add Rinse Aid

Fill the Rinse Aid dispenser when Add Rinse Aid is lit. A rinse aid prevents water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

If the Rinse Aid dispenser is empty, the light glows when you select a cycle or while a cycle is running.

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.
