Washing Special Items; Drying System; Overfill Protection Float; Active Vent - Kenmore 665.15972 Use & Care Manual

ActiveVent
The Active Vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher.
The cover closes after the cycle starts. Filling and washing
sounds are reduced. The Active Vent opens when wash
action ends and vapor is vented into room.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the cover closes or
opens. This is normal.
DryingSystem
During drying, you can see steam escaping through the
vent at the upper left corner of the door. This is normal as
the heat dries your dishes.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill P rotection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the
dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It
must be in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the
protector from moving up or down.
