Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems

(continued)

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?
• Has the sanitize 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 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.

Note:

 If these conditions persist, a home water

softener should be considered.

To customize your dishwasher to match your cabinets:

• You will need a trim kit.
• See Step 10 of Installation Instructions that came with your dishwasher for more

information.
