Solutions to Common Dishwashing
Problems
(continued)
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.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
•
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
•
Has the delay start option been selected?
•
Has the sanitize option been selected?
Dishwasher
Won't
Fill
•
Is water supply turned on?
•
Does overfill protector
move up and down
freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)
Dishwasher
Has an Odor
•
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher
too long
can create an odor. Use Rinse & Hold 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 & Hold cycle will
reduce the chance of staining.
Using no
heat dry option will lessen staining.
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,
spots 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
WASH cycle. Close
and latch door. Press START/CANCEL
pad.
4. Allow dishwasher
to run until it starts the
second water fill (approximately
10
minutes). The SENSING
light will be off.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of
dishwasher.
,
Close and latch door and allow cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions
persist, a home water
softener should be considered.
To customize
your dishwasher
to match your cabinets:
•
You will need a trim kit.
•
See Step 10 of Installation
Instructions
that came with your dishwasher
for more
information.
