POSSIBLE CAUSE
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can't jar loose. (See Loading section for correct way to load glassware.)
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the
rack into the dishwasher. Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use the CHINA CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
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. 1s it draining well'? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear. Be sure the disposer is
not clogged.
See the SYSTEMS MONITOR section.
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. To pump out water, touch
START two times, then immediately touch CLEAR RESET.
Repeat if necessary.
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 garbage disposer clear.
Shut off power to dishwasher at fuse or circuit breaker. Wait 5 seconds and restore
power to dishwasher. Try input panel again.
