• Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker
• Make sure dishwasher is turned on and door is
closed. Plug in cord securely
• Check that water supply is connected and the
water is turned on
• The system is designed to detect an overfl ow.
When it does, it shuts off the circulation pump
and turns on the drain pump
• Sounds from soft food shredding action and
detergent cup opening
• Ensure everything is secured in the dishwash-
er
• If you do not use often, dishwasher may hum,
remember to fi ll and pump out the appliance
every week to keep the seal moist
• Use only dishwasher detergent to avoid suds.
If suds are present, open the door and let suds
evaporate
• Always wipe rinse agent spills immediately
• Make sure that the rinse agent dispenser is
fi lled
• Select a stronger program
• Make sure that the detergent dispenser and
spray arms are not blocked by large dishware
• Remove all metal utensils from dishwasher,
see "Removing Hard Water Spots from Dishes"
section
• Re-load the dishes properly
• A small amount of clean water around the out-
let at the back of the tub keeps the water seal
lubricated
• Make sure the kitchen sink is draining well. If
the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run it
clear
• Be careful not to overfi ll the rinse aid dispense.
Spilled rinse aid can cause over sudsing and
lead to overfl owing. Wipe away any spills with
a damp cloth
• Make sure the dishwasher is level
• Steam coming through the vent by the door
latch is normal during drying and water drain-
ing
