PROBLEM
SOLUTION
DAMAGE T ODISHWARE
Improper
loading
can cause dishes to become
chipped or damaged.
(See specific
loading
instructions within this guide.)
BLINKING
LIGHTS
If Start/Resume
or any status lights are blinking
and the dishwasher will not run, close the
door and pus START/RESUME.
If the dishwasher still will not run call service.
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
NOTES:
DISHWARE
(AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
•
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying
and to reduce spotting.
•
Use the correct
amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable
by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes.
If the cloudiness disappears,
it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent
and
rinse aid. (See "HARD WATER [WHITE
RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER
INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE]
in "Troubleshooting."
If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see
below).
Be sure the incoming
water
temperature
is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting,
run a vinegar
rinse through the dishwasher.
•
Wash and rinse the affected
dishware
and load into dishwasher.
Remove all silverware
and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar
in a glass measuring
cup in the
lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent
is
needed.
ETCHING
(PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination
of:
water
that is too hot, from using too much detergent
with soft water
or by pre-washing.
Detergent
needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred,
the glassware is
permanently
damaged.
To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent
amount to match the
water
hardness, stop pre-washing,
and use water
heating options only when incoming
water
temperature
is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER
Be sure dishwasher
has been installed
properly
and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher
to overflow.
Measure the detergent
accurately
and use only
detergents
designed
for use in a dishwasher.
Less detergent
is needed in soft water. Try
another
brand of detergent
if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking
from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached
and avoid
overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED
NOTES:
•
High iron content in the water
can discolor
the tub.
•
Tomato-based
foods can discolor
the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based
cleaner
can be used to clean the tub.
