CHECK THE FOLLOWING
Is the door tightly closed and securely latched? Has the cycle been set correctly?
Is the dishwasher set for a delay start?
Has a household fuse or cjrcuit breaker blown or tripped?
If the motor stopped because of an overload, it will automatically reset itself within a few minutes. If it does not start, call for service.
Is the water supply turned on?
Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage?
Cycle times depend on the temperature of the water entering the dishwasher. Cooler water results in longer cycle times.
Is overfill protector stuck in “up”position? Overfill protector should move up and down freely. Press down to release. See the “Caring for Your Dishwasher” section.
Allow cycle to finish. A small amount of water remaining is normal.
Check the drain air gap (if installed). If it is clogged, follow the manufacturers cleaning instructions.
Has the cycle completed?
Is the detergent fresh and dry without lumps? See the “Usingthe Dispensers” section.
Is the bottom rack in backwards? The rack bumpers must face the dishwasher door.
Is the rinse agent dispenser empty? Using a rinse agent greatly improves drying.
Do not use Air Dry option on the next load. See the “Settingthe Controls” section.
Has a hard object entered the POWER CLEANTMmodule? The sound should stop when the object is ground up.
Is too much detergent being used? See the “Usingthe Dispensers” section for recommended amounts of detergent.
Some liquid detergents develop excess foam and residue on panel. Try a different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.
