CYCLE R UNS
T OO LONG
DISHWASHER
NOT DRYING
WILL NOT FILL
NOTES:
•
Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy. Cycle times may increase depending
on selections (See "Cycles and Options Descriptions" for estimated cycle times.)
•
A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.
Try the Quick Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous
surface, which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry and Sanitize option will provide the best drying and avoid
excess moisture in the dishwasher interior.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when
unloading.
•
Unload the bottom rack first.
•
Place these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions.
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher
may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Be sure the cycle has been completed (the green light is on). If the cycle has not been completed, you
will need to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 4 seconds.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed
from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions
in the drain or garbage disposer.
Check the house fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to the dishwasher and make it
difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended
if the hardness is
15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers
once per month.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water
softener additive designed for dishwashers.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full
load is ready to run.
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright
glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. Do
not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see "WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN"
in "Troubleshooting."
NOTES:
•
Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.
•
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
•
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and
when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
•
Improper installation will affect noise levels.
Be sure the filters are properly installed.
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.
Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
