Action
1. Remove the filters and clean according to the "Check/Clean
the Filter System" section of this manual.
2. Refer to "Clean the Door Gasket and Door Seal" in the Care
and Maintenance section of this manual .
3. Run a Rinse/Hold cycle if you do not intend to immediately
wash the dishes.
4. Ensure the unit has completely drained from the last cycle.
Refer to the "Canceling or changing the cycle" section of this
manual.
5. Remove any obstructions from the drain hose by calling
qualified personnel.
Note: If odor still persists, run the Normal/Regular cycle until it
flushes and interrupt the cycle and place an 8 oz. cup of distilled
white vinegar solution on the top rack and then finish the cycle.
1. Ensure that the water supply valve (typically located under
kitchen sink) is open and check that the water supply line has
no kinks and clogs.
2. Refer to the "Canceling or changing the cycle" section of this
manual.
3. Cancel the delay-start or wait until delay-start time com-
pletes (times out). Refer to the "Delay Start" section of this
manual.
1. Wrong type of detergent results in suds and leaks. Use only
dishwasher detergents. If suds still persist, then add one
tablespoon of vegetable oil at the bottom of the dishwasher
and run the desired cycle.
2. Ensure that door seal is in the track.
3. Ensure that condensation vent is not blocked. Refer to
"Loading Extra Tall Items" in the Preparing and Loading the
Dishwasher section of this manual.
4. Have proper installation verified by qualified personnel (wa-
ter supply, drain system, leveling, plumbing).
1. Concentrated Lemon juice can reduce the build up of hard
water stains. Run a normal cycle until it flushes and interrupt
the cycle and then place an 8 oz. cup of the concentrated
lemon solution on the top rack and finish the cycle. This can
be done periodically to avoid build up.
2. Ensure that the silverware does not make contact with the
tub while running a cycle.
Depending on the hardness of water, adjust the rinse agent dis-
penser. Refer to "Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent" section in
this manual for adjustment.
Use mild detergents with soft damp cloth.
Water circulation sound is normal, but if you suspect items are
banging into each other or into the spray arms, refer to the "Pre-
paring and Loading" section of this manual for optimal arrange-
ment.
