Self Help
Water not pumped
from dishwasher
Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged,
or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of
the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the
dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation
Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain
the filter system isn’t clogged (see the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen
sink drain may be clogged; you may need a
plumber rather than a serviceman for the
dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it
may be clogged.
Dishwasher runs a long
time
May be due to cold incoming water. Before
starting the dishwasher, open the hot water
faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run
the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water
and start the dishwasher.
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems
that are unrelated to a malfunction of the
dishwasher itself. The following information may
help you with a dishwasher problem without your
having to call a repair person.
Dishes do not dry
The rinse aid dispenser may be empty. Check the
rinse aid dispenser and refill it if necessary.
Dishware drying can be accelerated and
enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly
and propping it open with the top rack.
Indicator light(s) do not come on
Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/
breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
breaker if necessary.
Dishwasher does not start
Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and
latched.
Make certain to press the START button
before closing the door.
Suds in dishwasher
You may have used the wrong type of dishwasher
detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher
detergents.

glassware

instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser
cover. Go to the
Operating the Dishwasher
