POSSIBLE CAUSE
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is
normal. It is clean water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain
problem. Clean the air gap, if you have one. (See Care and
Cleaning section.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a
plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure
disposer is not clogged.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use
a detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can
lead to overflowing. Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out
once every week. This will help keep the seal moist, and the food
disposer clear.
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID
SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch
the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning the control dial
until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will
discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check the detergent
cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change to
detergent without any colorant.
You'll hear occasional clicking sounds. These are normal.
• Food disposal shredding action.
• Drain valve opening to pump water out.
• Timer control as cycle progresses.
• Detergent cup opening.
During the drying period:
• The motor stops.
Water vapor comes through the vent by the door latch during
drying and when water is being pumped out.
