TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.
DISHWASHER NOT OPERATING PROPERLY
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
Dishwasher does
not run or stops
during a cycle
Most cycles pause for
5 minutes near the start of a
cycle to let the dishes soak.
This is normal, and reduces
the energy required to clean
the dishes.
The door is not closed tightly
and latched.
Close and latch the door.
There is no power to the
dishwasher.
Replace fuse or reset circuit
breaker.
The motor has stopped due to
an overload.
The motor will automatically
reset itself within a few
minutes.
The water shutoff valve is not
turned on.
Turn the water shutoff valve
to its fully on position.
Certain cycles repeatedly
pause for 15 to 65 seconds
during the main wash.
This is normal.
The Delay option
was selected.
To reset, see “Options” in
the Controls section.
Child Lock is
activated.
Deactivate Child Lock. See
“Options” in the Controls
section.
Dishwasher will
not fill
The overfill protection float is
not able to move up and down
freely.
Press down on the float to
release.
The water valve is turned off.
Turn on the water valve.
Door latch is not properly
seated.
Close and latch the door.
Dishwasher
seems to run too
long
The water supplied to the
dishwasher is not hot enough.
The dishwasher runs longer
while heating water, and a
delay automatically occurs in
some wash and rinse cycles
until the water reaches the
proper temperature.
Run the water in the
adjacent sink until it gets
hot before turning on the
dishwasher.
The Sanitize option is
selected.
The cycle time will increase
to meet the sanitized
temperature.
The cycle time will vary
depending on soil level.
When heavy soil is
detected, the Normal cycle
will automatically increase
the cycle time.
