Check Operation

❏
Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came with your
dishwasher.
❏
Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were
skipped. Check that you have all tools used.
❏
Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash
cycle. After the first 2 minutes unlatch door, wait 5 seconds,
then open door. Check to see that there is water in the
bottom of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is
working properly.
If not, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and see "If
Dishwasher Does Not Operate" section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost
of a service call.
• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse
blown?
• Is the door closed tightly and latched?
• Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
• Is the water turned on?
If none of these work, call 1-800-253-1301, or in Canada, call
1-800-807-6777.

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2-
3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older
models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption
motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional
cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water
sensor so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical
sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past
3.5 hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good
drying performance and controlling hard water deposit build-up.
Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy so they
depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good
drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is
closed within 3 seconds. If you do not, the Start/Resume light
will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when
adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
