Leaks
Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a
different brand.
Vapor at Vent
Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying
part of cycle. This is normal.
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp cloth.
Check to see that dishwasher is level.
(See Installation Instructions.)
Normal
Sounds You Will
Hear
°
Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation
and motor sounds.
There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash
action switches between the lower and middle spray
arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own
sound.
It is normal for the dishwasher to pause (no sound)
when the wash action is switching between the lower
and middle spray arms.
Water

Water left in the tub bottom after the cycle is
complete is not normal. If water remains in the
bottom of the tub, the dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly.)

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 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.

fill (approximately
10 minutes).

into the bottom of dishwasher.
