PROBLÈME

CAUSES PROBABILES

UNE PETITE QUANTITÉ

D’EAU RESTE AU FOND

DE LA CUVE

Il est normal qu’une certaine quantité d’eau demeure au fond de la cuve.

C’est de l’eau propre. Son rôle est d’humidifier le joint d’étanchéité.

L’EAU N’EST PAS

VIDANGÉE

Une quantité excessive d’eau au fond de la cuve peut être le signe d'une

obstruction du boyau de vidange. Nettoyez l’intervalle d'air, le cas échéant

(voir la section Entretien et nettoyage).

Vérifiez si l'eau s'écoule bien dans l’évier de la cuisine. Vous devrez peut-

être faire appel à un plombier.

Si l’eau du lave-vaisselle se vidange dans un broyeur à déchets, faites

fonctionner le broyeur jusqu’à ce qu'il soit vide. Assurez-vous que le

broyeur n'est pas obstrué.

FUITES

Elles peuvent être causées par la formation de mousse. C’est pourquoi il

est très important d'employer un détergent conçu pour le lave-vaisselle.

Elles peuvent être causées aussi par le produit de rinçage si une certaine

quantité a été renversée pendant le remplissage du réservoir. Essuyez tout

déversement accidentel avec un linge humide.

LE MOTEUR BOURDONNE

Vous ne faites pas fonctionner le lave-vaisselle de façon régulière.

Lorsque vous ne faites pas fonctionner l'appareil souvent, réglez-le pour

qu'il se remplisse et se vidange une fois par semaine. Cela contribue à

humidifier le joint d’étanchéité et à dégager le broyeur d’aliments.

MOUSSE DANS LA CUVE

Les détergents moussants ne sont pas conçus pour le lave-vaisselle. POUR

ÉVITER LA FORMATION DE MOUSSE, N'UTILISEZ QU'UN

DÉTERGENT CONÇU POUR LES LAVE-VAISSELLE

AUTOMATIQUE.

Pour faire disparaître la mousse de la cuve : 

Ouvrez la porte du lave-

vaisselle. Laissez la mousse s'évaporer. Versez un gallon d'eau froide dans

la cuve. Refermez et verrouillez la porte. Faites vidanger l'eau en tournant

lentement le cadran du programmateur jusqu'à ce que vous atteigniez le

cycle de vidange.

Répétez au besoin.

TACHES À L’INTÉRIEUR

DE LA CUVE

Certains détergent contiennent un colorant (ou pigment) qui peut

décolorer la cuve avec le temps. Vérifiez si le distributeur de détergent

présente des signes de décoloration. Si tel est le cas, utilisez un autre

détergent sans colorant.

BRUITS QUE VOUS

ENTENDREZ

A l’occasion, vous entendrez différents bruits; c’est normal.

• Le broyeur d’aliments qui pulvérise les aliments.

• Le clapet de vidange qui s’ouvre pour évacuer l’eau.

• Le programmateur qui avance à mesure que le cycle se déroule.

• Le distributeur de détergent qui s’ouvre.

Pendant la période de séchage:

• Le moteur s’arrête.

VAPEUR A L’ÉVENT

De la vapeur d’eau s’échappe par l’évent, situé à proximité du loquet de la

porte pendant le séchage et lors de  la vidange de l’appareil.

MARQUES GRISÂTRES

OU NOIRES SUR LA

VAISSELLE

Les articles en aluminium laissent souvent des marques lorsqu'ils

frottent contre la vaisselle. Faites disparaître ces marques à l’aide d’un

produit nettoyant légèrement abrasif.

USE THIS PROBLEM SOLVER

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER
STANDING IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE TUB

Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is
normal. It is clean water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.

WATER WON’T PUMP OUT OF
THE TUB

If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain
problem. Clean the air gap, if you have one. (See Care and
Cleaning section.)

Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a
plumber.

If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure
disposer is not clogged.

DISHWASHER LEAKS

Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use
a detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.

Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can
lead to overflowing. Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a
damp cloth.

MOTOR HUMS

Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.

If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out
once every week. This will help keep the seal moist, and the food
disposer clear.

SUDS IN THE TUB

Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID
SUDSING.

To remove suds from the tub:

Open the dishwasher. Let suds

evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch
the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning the control dial
until a drain period is reached.

Repeat if necessary.

STAINING OF

TUB INTERIOR

Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will
discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check the detergent
cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change to
detergent without any colorant.

SOUNDS YOU
WILL HEAR

You’ll hear occasional clicking sounds. These are normal.

• Food disposal shredding action.

• Drain valve opening to pump water out.

• Timer control as cycle progresses.

• Detergent cup opening.

During the drying period:

• The motor stops.

VAPOR AT THE VENT

Water vapor comes through the vent by the door latch during
drying and when water is being pumped out.
