Solutions to Common Problems
DISHWASHER LEAKS
•
Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
•
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
•
Check to see that dishwasher is level (See
Installation Instructions).
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU WILL
HEAR
•
Normal sounds include water fill, water
circulation and motor sounds.
•
Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to
increase and decrease at regular intervals
during cycles.
WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE TUB
•
It is not normal for water to remain in the
bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle. If
water remains in the bottom of the tub at the
end of a cycle, the dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not
Drain Properly, page 21.) The filter may also
need to be cleaned. (See Care of Filter, page
16.)
Note: It is normal to see a small amount
of water under the filter at the end of a cycle.
