Dishwasher Leaks; Water In Bottom Of Tub; Dishware Chipped; Normal Sounds You Will Hear - Frigidaire 154768501 Use & Care Manual

Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a
different brand.
• 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 dishwasher to pause (no sound) when
the wash action is switching between the lower and
middle spray arms.
Etching
• Using too much detergent in soft or softened water
causes this film that cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water
hardness. (Check Detergent Chart.)
• Lower the water temperature.
• Use no heat dry option.

Detergent Left in Cups

• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent dispenser
from opening.
SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

Water in Bottom of Tub

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

Dishware Chipped

• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing
and Loading Dishes.)
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose when
moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of
tub when rack is pushed in.
• Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-washed.

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the drying
part of cycle. This is normal.
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.
