Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
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 Won't Fill
• Assure the water supply is turned on.
• Check that the overfi ll protector moves
up and down freely. (See Overfi ll
Protector section).
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).
Dishwasher has an Odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long
can create an odor. Use Quick Rinse
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).
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/
orange appearance. This will not aff ect
performance and will gradually fade
over time. Pre-rinsing or using the Quick
Rinse cycle will reduce the chance of
staining. Using no heat dry option will
lessen staining.
No Lights Illuminated
• By design the console lights turn off
when the door is shut.
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fi ll, water
spray, draining 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 the dishwasher to pause
(no sound) when the wash action is
switching between the lower and middle
spray arms.
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 the door. Press START/CANCEL
pad.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts
the second water fi ll (approximately 8
minutes).
5. Open the door, pour 2 cups of white
vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close the door and allow cycle to fi nish.
