BEFORE YOU CALL
Dishwasher Won't Run
Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped
or if a fuse is blown.
Make sure water supply is turned on.
Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See
Operating Instructions).
Make sure door is closed and latched.
Make sure START/CANCEL pad is pressed
after the cycle has been selected.
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
Assure the knockout plug has been
removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.
Assure the drain hose isn't kinked.
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
Assure the glass trap is maintained and
installed properly assuring no clogs (See
Care and Cleaning).
Cycle Takes a Long Time
The cycle may have been automatically
lengthened to reach key temperatures
due to some factor such as a cool water
supply or a large load of dishes.
Choose lower temperature options to
shorten the cycle.
Cycles that are soil-sensing adjust
automatically to assure a good wash
- heavier soils will elicit a longer cycle
response.
Dishwasher has an Odor
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long
can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.
There will be a "new" smell when fi rst
installed. This is normal.
Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly).

Stains on Tub Interior
Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/
orange appearance. This will not affect
performance and will gradually fade over
time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only
cycle will reduce the chance of staining.
Using no heat dry option will lessen
staining.
Opening the door during cycle
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad must be pressed and the door shut
immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option, this must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.
Removing Spots and Film

on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes
and glasses may also get spots and fi lm for a
number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware

instructions:
1.

manner. Do not load any metal utensils

and latch door. Press START/CANCEL
pad.
4.

the second water fi ll (approximately 10
minutes).
