If you need service or assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:

Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
if your dishwasher will not run, or stops during
a cycle:
. Is the door tightly closed and securely
latched?
l
Has the cycle been correctly set (and the
Control Knob pulled out)?
. Is the water turned on?
l
Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with
the proper voltage (undercounter models]?
l
Is the power supply cord plugged into a live
circuit with the proper voltage (portable
models)?
l
If the motor has stopped because of an over-
load, it will automatically reset itself within a
few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for
service.
l
Are you using the POTS & PANS Cycle or HI-
TEMP WASHING Option? Is the dishwasher wait-
ing for water to heat?
