Vapor at Vent
•
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and
lead to overflowing. Wipe up any spills
with a damp cloth.
Dishware Stained or Discolored
•
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove
the stains by hand washing in a solution
of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart
(1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
•
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow
or brown film. A special filter installed
in the water supply line will correct this
problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
•
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other items.
Load Properly.
•
Certain high acid foods can cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the
Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if not
operating dishwasher at once.
•
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils
in silverware basket can cause pitting of
the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing
stainless steel and silver.
Water in Bottom of Tub
•
Water left in the tub bottom after the
cycle is complete is not normal. If
water remains in the bottom of the tub,
the dishwasher may not be draining
properly. (See Dishwasher Does not Drain
Properly).
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.
•
Delay Start option may have been
selected.
•
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.
BEFORE YOU CALL
Etching
•
Using too much detergent especially
in soft or softened water causes
damage that looks like a film but
cannot be removed.
•
Adjust the amount of detergent
based on the water hardness. (Check
Detergent Chart).
•
Lower the water temperature
by selecting one of the lower
temperature options.
Detergent Left in Cups
•
Detergent may be old. Discard and
use fresh detergent.
•
Be sure the dish load doesn't block
spray from entering the detergent
cup.
•
Check to see if cycle has been
completed.
•
Make sure items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
Dishwasher Leaks
•
Check that the door gasket is pressed
into its mounting channel, reaches to
the bottom of the tub and does not
extend beyond the end rib so as to
interfere with door closure.
•
Spilled rinse aide can cause foam and
lead to overflowing. Wipe up any
spills with a damp cloth.
•
Check to see that the dishwasher is
level. (See Installation Instructions).
•
Avoid oversudsing by using the
correct amount of detergent designed
for automatic dishwashers.
•
Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Installation Instructions).
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
•
Normal sounds include water fill, water
spray, draining and motor sounds.
•
There is a noticeable change in sound
when the wash action switches between
the lower and middle spray arm. This is
normal since each spray arm has its own
sound.
•
It is normal for the dishwasher to pause
(no sound) when the wash action is
switching between the lower and middle
spray arms.
