BEFORE YOU CALL
Dishwasher Leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
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.
Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup
• 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.
Vapor at Vent
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the
drying part of the cycle. This is normal.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions).
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).
• Is dishwasher set for Delay Start Option?
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
Dishwasher Won't Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste disposer,
make sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been
removed from inside the food waste disposer
inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.

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 first
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 air 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.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the
interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may
also get spots and film for a number of reasons.
(See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy
section). To remove buildup, and film, clean using
the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL cycle. Press START/CANCEL
pad. Close and latch the door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the
second water fill (approximately 10 minutes).
5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
