TROUBLESHOOTING
Dishwasher Leaks
•
Use only fresh detergent designed
for automatic dishwashers. Measure
detergent carefully. Try a different
brand.
Etching
•
Using too much detergent especially
in soft or softened water causes
damage that looks like a film but
cannot be removed.
•
Adjust the amount of detergent
based on the water hardness. (Check
Detergent Chart).
•
Lower the water temperature.
Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup
•
Detergent may be old. Discard and
use fresh detergent.
•
Be sure the dish load doesn't block
spray from entering the detergent
cup.
•
Check to see if cycle has been
completed.
•
Make sure items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
•
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and
lead to overflowing. Wipe up any
spills with a damp cloth.
•
Water vapor escapes from the vent
during the drying part of the cycle.
This is normal.
•
Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Installation Instructions).
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
•
Is water supply turned on?
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
•
If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer, make sure the disposer is
empty.
•
Check to see if the knockout plug has
been removed from inside the food
waste disposer inlet.
•
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
•
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
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 first
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
affect performance and will gradually
fade over time. Pre-rinsing or using
the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the
chance of staining. Using air 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.
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 film for a number of reasons. (See
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
section). To remove buildup, and film,
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 cycle. Press
START/CANCEL pad. Close and
latch the door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until
it starts the second water fill
(approximately 10 minutes).
5. Unlatch an and open door and pour
2 cups of white vinegar into the
bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle
to finish.
