Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove
any other appliances sharing the same circuit
as the dishwasher.
Make sure the dishwasher is turned on and
the door is closed securely.
Check that the water supply is connected
properly and the water is turned on.
The system is designed to detect an overflow.
When it does, it shuts off the circulation pump
and turns on the drain pump.
Sound from soft food shredding and detergent
cup opening.
Ensure everything is secured in the dishwash-
er.
Dishwasher has not been used regularly. If
you do not use it often, remember to set it to
fill and pump out every week. This will help
keep the seals moist.
Use only detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers to avoid suds. To remove suds,
open the dishwasher door and let the suds
evaporate. Add a gallon of cold water to the
tub. Close and latch the dishwasher, then start
any program, this will initiate a pre-drain cycle.
Repeat if necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Use only detergent that is free of colorant.
Make sure that the rinse agent dispenser is
filled.
Select a program more appropriate for the
soiled condition of the dishes.
Make sure that the action of the detergent dis-
penser and spray arms are not blocked by
large dish-ware.
