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.

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.

DISHWASHER

Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s

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

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 garbage disposer clear.
