If you need service or assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:
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
won't run, or stops during
a
program:
l
Is the door
tightly
closed
and
securely
latched?
l
Has the program
been correctly
set (and the
START Pad pressed]?
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 motor
does not start, call
for
service.
l
Are you using the POTS & PANS Program
or a
HI TEMP Washing
Option?
Is the dishwasher
waiting
for water to heat? (See pages
8 & 91.
If water
remains
in the dishwasher:
l
Has the program
completed?
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
Has the program
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.
