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.)
