Operation and Cycle Information
This section of the guide provides details on segments of cycles, timing of cycles, temperature
expectations, and cycling of the heater during the dry portion of a cycle.
Auto Hot Start
At the beginning of the main wash, the dishwasher checks the temperature of the water, and if it is
below 90°F, then it will add up to 10 minutes of time to heat the water to 90°F by circulating the water
while the heater is on. Similarly, at the beginning of the final rinse, the dishwasher will check the water
temperature, and if it is below 105°F, then it will add up to 15 minutes of time to heat the water to 105°F.
Once it reaches the target temperature, any remaining hot start time will be truncated and will continue
on with the cycle.
The cycle chart below explains the segments of a cycle (cycles for all models included, but not all
models contain the same cycles). It details fill and drain times which depend on either a full or partial
drain. It provides the circulation time in each segment but does not include turbidity or temperature
adjustments or dry cycles (see the
Dry System
, under the
Tub
section in this guide). Times will vary
depending on turbidity response and incoming water temperature.
