PROBLEM
SOLUTION
WATER REMAINS INTHE
TUB/WILL NOTDRAIN
Be sure the cycle
has completed
(the green
or blue
light
is on).
If it has not, you will
need
to
resume
the cycle
by closing
the door
and
pressing
START/RESUME.
If dishwasher
is connected
to a food
waste
disposer,
be sure the knockout
plug
has been
removed
from
the disposer
inlet.
Check
for
kinks in the drain
hose.
Check
for food
obstructions
in the drain,
air-gap,
or disposer.
Check
your
house
fuse or circuit
breaker.
HARD WATER
(WHITE RESIDUE ON
DISHWASHER
INTERIOR
OR
GLASSWARE)
NOTE: Extremely
hard water
mineral deposits can cause damage
to your dishwasher
and
make it difficult
to achieve
good cleaning.
You may bring water samples to Sears to check
your water
hardness level. A water
softener is strongly
recommended
if your hardness is
15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed,
the following
steps may help:
Use a commercial
cleaner
designed
for dishwashers
once per month.
Clean the ULTRA WASH ®HE filters at least once per month.
Always
use a rinse aid.
Always
use a high-quality,
fresh detergent.
Use a detergent
booster/water
softener additive
designed
for dishwashers.
ODORS
NOTE: If the dishwasher
is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial
load
daily until a full load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for
partial
loads.
Run a vinegar
rinse through the dishwasher
by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar
in
an upright
glass measuring
cup in the lower rack. Run a normal
cycle with the Heated Dry
option turned off. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher
may not be draining
properly,
see "WATER REMAINS
IN THE TUB/WILL
NOT DRAIN" in "Troubleshooting."
NOISY
NOTES:
•
Surging sounds can occur periodically
throughout
the cycle while the dishwasher
is
draining.
•
Normal
water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
•
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent
dispenser opens during the
cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
•
Improper
installation
will affect
noise levels.
Be sure the filters are properly
installed.
A thumping
sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere
with the
wash arms. Readjust the dishware
and resume the cycle.
FOOD SOILS REMAIN
ON DISHES
Be sure the dishwasher
is loaded
correctly.
Improper
loading
can greatly
decrease the
washing
performance
(see "Loading
for Best Performance").
Check filter to ensure it is properly
installed.
Clean it if needed. (See "Cleaning
Instructions"
in "ULTRA WASH ®HE Filtration
System" for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots & Pans cycle with the
TURBOZONE
TM
(on some models) option can be used for tougher
loads.
Be sure the incoming
water
temperature
is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent.
More detergent
is needed for heavier-soiled
loads and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading
(do not prerinse).
DID NOT SANITIZE
If the sanitized
light is blinking,
the load is NO T sanitized.
The cycle was interrupted
in the
final rinse, or your water
heater is set too low. Set your water
heater to 120°F (49°C).
