SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

• 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.

• There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash

action switches between the lower and middle spray

arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own

sound.

• It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no sound) when

the wash action is switching between the lower and

middle spray arms.

Water in Bottom of Tub

• Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is complete is

not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub,

dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

Dishwasher Won’t Run

• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a fuse is

blown.

• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly.

(See Operating Instructions.)

• Is dishwasher set for delay start option?
• Make sure door is closed and latched.

Dishware Stained or Discolored

• Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains by

hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach

and one quart (1 L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or brown

film. A special filter installed in the water supply line

will correct this problem. (See Removing Spots and

Film.)

• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks when

they rub against other items. Load properly.

• Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of

stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a long

period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if

not operating dishwasher at once.

• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware

basket can cause pitting of the stainless steel blades.
Avoid mixing stainless steel and silver.

Etching

• Using too much detergent in soft or softened water

causes this film that cannot be removed.

• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water

hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)

• Lower the water temperature.
• Use no heat dry option.

Detergent Left in Cups

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh

detergent.

• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent

dispenser from opening.

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying

part of cycle. This is normal.

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic

dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a

different brand.
