BEFORE YOU CALL

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

• 

If unit is hooked up to a food waste 
disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

• 

Assure the knockout plug has been 
removed from inside the food waste 
disposer inlet.

• 

Assure the drain hose isn’t kinked.

• 

Make sure cycle is complete, not in a 
pause.

• 

Assure the glass trap is maintained and 
installed properly assuring no clogs (See 
Care and Cleaning).

Cycle Takes a Long Time

• 

The cycle may have been automatically 
lengthened to reach key temperatures 
due to some factor such as a cool water 
supply or a large load of dishes.

• 

Choose lower temperature options to 
shorten the cycle.

• 

Cycles that are soil-sensing adjust 
automatically to assure a good wash 
- heavier soils will elicit a longer cycle 
response.

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 fi rst 
installed.  This is normal.

• 

Check to see if unit is 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).

• 

Make sure door is closed and latched.

• 

Make sure START/CANCEL pad is pressed 
after the cycle has been selected.

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 fi lm for a 
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware 
Spotted or Cloudy section).  To remove 
buildup, and fi lm, 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 fi ll (approximately 10 
minutes).

5. 

Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups 
of white vinegar into the bottom of 
dishwasher.

6. 

Close and latch door press START/
CANCEL pad immediately to allow the 
cycle to fi nish.

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.

Opening the door during cycle

• 

If the dishwasher door is opened while 
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL 
pad must be pressed and the door shut 
immediately to return the unit to the 
selected cycle and option, this must 
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to 
continue the cycle.
