Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
(continued)
Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent when the
dishwasher goes into the drying part of cycle.
This is normal.
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.
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.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
Has the delay start option been selected?
Dishwasher Won't Fill
Is water supply turned on?
Does overfill protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
Dishwasher Has an Odor
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can
create an odor. Use Rinse/Hold 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/Hold cycle will reduce the
chance of staining. Using Cool Dry option
will lessen staining.
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 the Cool 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.
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.
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.)
