Cause
Action
1. Add rinse aid - the use of rinse aid improves
drying.
2. Rearrange load to ensure items are not nest-
ing (see "Loading the Dishwasher" section of
the manual).
3. Rinse and Hold setting does not include dry-
ing.
Note: Sanitize option and Intensive Drying fea-
ture also improve drying performance.
1. Remove the filters and clean according to the
"Care and Maintenance" section of the man-
ual.
2. Refer to "Care and Maintenance" section of
the manual.
3. Run a Rinse cycle if you do not intend to
immediately wash the dishes.
4. Ensure the unit has completely drained from
the last cycle.
5. Remove any obstructions from the drain hose
by calling authorized personnel.
Note: If odor still persists, run the Normal cycle
until it flushes and interrupt the cycle and place
an 8 oz. cup of distilled white vinegar solution on
the upper rack and then finish the cycle.
1. Ensure that the water supply valve (typically
located under kitchen sink) is open and check
that the water supply line has no kinks or
clogs.
2. Refer to the "Operating the Dishwasher" sec-
tion of the manual.
3. Cancel the delay start or wait until delay start
time completes.
1. Wrong type of detergent results in suds and
leaks - use only dishwasher detergents. If
suds still persist, add one tablespoon of vege-
table oil at the bottom of the dishwasher and
run the desired cycle.
2. Ensure the door seal is in the track.
3. Ensure that condensation vent is not blocked.
4. Have proper installation verified by authorized
personnel (water supply, drain system, level-
ing, plumbing).
1. Concentrated lemon juice can reduce the
build up of hard water stains. Run a Normal
cycle until it flushes and interrupt the cycle
and then place an 8 oz. cup of the concen-
trated lemon solution on the upper rack and
finish the cycle. This can be done periodically
to avoid build up.
2. Ensure that silverware does not make contact
with the tub while running a cycle.
