form dishwasher
Twisted or trapped
drain hose.
Filter clogged.
Kitchen sink clogged.
Check the drain hose.
Check coarse the filter.
Check the kitchen sink to make sure
it is draining well. If the problem is
the kitchen sink that is not draining,
you may need a plumber rather than
a serviceman for dishwashers.
Suds in the tub
Wrong detergent.
Water pressure is low
Use only the special dishwasher
detergent to avoid suds. If this occurs,
open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water
to the bottom of the dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then select
any cycle. Initially, the dishwasher will
drain out the water. Open the door
after draining stage is complete and
check if the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.
