Cycle Status Indicators

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

NOTE: Your model may have some or all of the indicators shown above.

Clean

Clean glows when a cycle is finished. The light turns off when you open and close the door or press any button.

Sanitized

If you select Sanitize Rinse, Sanitized glows when the Sanitize Rinse option 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 water could not be heated to the required temperature. The light goes off when you open and close the door or press any button.

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.
