Rinse-aid dispenser is empty. Fill rinse-aid dispenser.
A fuse may have biown or a circuit breaker tripped. Replace fuse or
reset circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box.
Door of dishwasher not properly dosed. Close dishwasher making
sure that door latches.
If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems
exceptionally long it is probably due to cold incoming water. To avoid
this problem it is recommended that before starting the dishwasher:
open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher and
run the water until it runs hot. Then turn off the water and start the
dishwasher.
Water line is closed or inlet filter is blocked. Open water valve and/or
check inlet filter.
Kink in drain hose, Filter clogged. Kitchen sink dogged. Air gap (type
installed at sink) clogged. Check drain hose and fine and coarse
filters (see section titled CARE and CLEANING). Check kitchen sink to
make sure it is draining well. If problem is kitchen sink not draining
you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher.
