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.

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.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain

Properly

• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer, make

sure the disposer is empty.

• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed

from inside the food waste disposer inlet.

• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.

• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.

• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser

from opening.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

Dishwasher Won’t Fill

• Is water supply turned on?
• Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See

Overfill Protector section.)

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Has the delay start option been selected?
• Has the sanitize option been selected?

Dishwasher Has an Odor

• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create

an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.

• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This

is normal.

• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

Stains on Tub Interior

• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based

soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not

affect performance and will gradually fade over time.

Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the

chance of staining. Using no heat dry option will lessen
staining.

Removing Spots and Film

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the interior of

the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also get spots and

film for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware

Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and

film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do not

load any metal utensils or silverware.

2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door.

Press START/CANCEL pad.

4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second water

fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will

be off.

5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar

into the bottom of dishwasher.

6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
