Dishwashing
Problems
|continued)
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 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.
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.)
Vapor at Vent
•
Water vapor escapes
from the vent when the
dishwasher
is operating.
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.)
•
Make sure door is closed and latched.
Dishwasher
Does Not Drain Properly
•
If unit is hooked
up to a food waste disposer,
make sure the disposer
is empty.
•
Check to see if the knockout
plug has been
removed
from inside the food waste disposer
inlet.
•
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
•
Make sure cycle is complete,
not in a pause.
Dishwasher
Has an Odor
•
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher
too long can
create an odor. Rinse dishes
if not running
dishwasher
at once.
•
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
will reduce the chance
of staining.
Using HEAT
DRY OFF 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.
Turn dial to NORMAL
WASH. Close and latch
door to start.
4.
Allow dishwasher
to run for 40 minutes
to
reach the main wash portion
of cycle.
5.
Unlatch
and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar
into the bottom
of dishwasher.
6.
Close and latch door and allow the cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions
persist,
a home water
softener
should
be considered.
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.
