includes common experiences that are not the
result of defective workmanship or material in
your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading—
avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low—should
be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be
at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting
Performance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard
water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Chart.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Check to make sure tower in lower rack is not
blocked.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arm,
preventing it from rotating.
Dishes not Dry
• Select Hot Dry option.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the amount of rinse aid. (See Rinse
Aid.)

it is at least 120°F (49°C).
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.

Dishware Chipped

• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not
over pins.

loose when moving racks in and out. Move
racks in and out slowly.

washed.

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.)

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. Rinse by hand if not operating

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

water causes this film that cannot be removed.

water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
