If you need service or assistance, we suggest
YOU follow these four stem:
1.
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:
l
Is the
door
tightly
closed
and
securely
latched?
l
Has the cycle
been
correctly
set?
l
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
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.
If your dishwasher
seems to run too long:
l
Are you using POTS & PANS Cycle
or HI-TEMP
WASHING Option?
The dishwasher
may
be
waiting
for the water to heat.
l
Is your household
water temperature
set too
low?
Low water
temperature
settings
will
cause
longer
dishwasher
operating
times.
If water
remains
in the dishwasher:
l
Has the cycle
completed?
l
A small amount
of remaining
water is normal.
l
Is drain air gap
clogged?
If detergent
remains
in the covered
detergent
cup:
l
Is the bottom
rack in backwards?
(The rack
bumpers
should
be at the front.)
l
Is the dishwasher
detergent
fresh?
l
Is the cycle
completed?
If you hear grinding,
grating,
crunching,
buzz-
ing sounds:
l
A hard
object
has probably
entered
the
POWER CLEAN
Module.
The sound should
stop when the object
is ground
up.
