Holes of spray arms are blocked by food particles.
• Clean the holes of spray arms.
Rack is poorly adjusted.
• See the Height Adjustable Upper Rack section.
This is a safety measure. Contact with escaping steam or the hot contents of the
dishwasher could result in injury.
• Close the door until the dishwasher and dishes have cooled down. The chiming will stop if
the door is closed or the interior temperature has cooled.
Cutlery rack is not properly loaded.
• Push the door handle to close the door properly until it clicks.
Bumping into or touching the control panel during operation may result in a disabled
button sound. Only the Power, Start, and Control Lock buttons are enabled during
operation to prevent cycle settings from being changed inadvertently.
• Button sounds can be turned off by pressing and holding Extra Dry and Delay Start for
three seconds.
• The end of cycle chime and safety alert sounds will still sound.
Door was opened during cycle.
• If the door is opened during a cycle, the Start key must be pressed within 4 minutes or the
machine turns off and all settings are lost.
Dishwasher not leveled properly.
• Verify the appliance is level from side to side and from front to back. See leveling
instructions in the Installation section.
Wrong detergent used.
• If excessive sudsing is causing the leak, allow the foam to subside for 24 hours then clean
the inside of the tub with milk.
The previous cycle was stopped before completion and residual water remains in the
dishwasher.
• Turn on the power, run the Cancel cycle option to remove the residual water, then run the
Turbo cycle using detergent but with the dishwasher empty.
There is food in the bottom of the appliance or in the filter.
• Clean the filter and the interior according to the Maintenance section of the owner's
manual.
Unwashed dishes are left in the appliance for a long time.
• Run a cycle with one cup of white vinegar in a dishwasher safe glass or bowl placed on the
upper rack. (Vinegar is an acid, and with constant use it could damage your appliance.)
After cleaning, the appliance smells like detergent.
• This is normal.
