Issue 

Possible Cause 

Solution

was used, open the dishwasher allowing suds to 
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close 
and latch the door. Start the “RINSE” wash cycle to drain 
the water. Repeat if necessary.

any other cleaner to clean dishwasher.

appear on 
cutlery 

Items are not non-

knocking against an 
item in the dish rack
