We suggest you follow
these steps:
1. Before

for assistance...
Performance
problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If your dishwasher
will not run, or stops
during
a cycle:
l
Is the door tightly closed and securely latched?
. Has the cycle been correctly set?
. Is the water turned on?
l
Have you checked your home's main fuses 01
circuit breaker box?
. Is the dishwasher connected to a live circuit with
the proper voltage?
l
If the motor has stopped because of an overload,
it will automatically
reset itself within a few min-
utes. If the motor does not start, call for service.
If you hear grinding,
grating,
crunching,
buzzing
sounds:
l
A hard object has probably entered the POWER
CLEAN'" Module. The sound should stop when
the object is ground up.

aren't
as dry as you expected:

Is the rinse agent dispenser filled? Using a rinse
agent greatly improves drying. (See page 13.)
