tinue beeping until you press Start and close

See the
CARE AND CLEANING
section.
Low inlet water temperature.
Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the
USING
THE DISHWASHER
section). Turn on the hot water faucet
nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water temperature
stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off the fau-
cet. This ensures the entering water is hot. Select
Wash
Temp - Boost
.
Water pressure is temporarily low.
Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dish-
washer. Normal water pressure to the dishwasher should be
20-120 psi. (0.137-0.827 mPa)
Air gap or disposer clogged (Built-In Models
Only).
Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
High drain loop or air gap not installed (Built-In
Models Only).
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line in-
stallation.
Improper rack loading.
Make sure large dishware or utensils do not block detergent
dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.
Poor performing detergent.
Use a highly rated detergent.
Spots and filming on glasses
and flatware.
Extremely hard water.
Use a rinse agent to prevent spots and prevent new film
build-up. If water is extremely hard, a softener may be re-
quired.
Low inlet water temperature.
Make sure inlet water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Overloading or improper loading of the dish-
washer.
Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading section.
Old or damp powder detergent.
Make sure detergent is fresh. Use a highly rated detergent.
Rinse agent dispenser empty.
Refill with rinse agent.
Too little or low performing detergent.
Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated deter-
gent.
Cloudiness on glassware.
Combination of soft water and too much de-
tergent.
This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from
happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash
glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.
Low performing phosphate-free detergent.
See A white film on glassware, dishware and the interior in
this TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS section.
Water temperature entering the dishwasher
exceeds 150°F (66°C).
This could be etching. Lower the water heater temperature.
Suds in the tub.
Wrong detergent.
Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.
