TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Troubleshooting Tips... Before you call for service
Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Dishes and flatware
not clean Main filter or fine filter is
clogged 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 faucet. This ensures the
entering water is hot.
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 dishwasher.
Air gap or disposer is
clogged Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
No high drain loop

Too little or low performing
detergent Make sure you use the proper amount of highly rated
detergent.
Cloudiness on
glassware Combination of soft water
and too much detergent 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 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.
Rinse agent was spilled Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
