What To Do
• A small amount of clean
water around the outlet on
the tub bottom at the back
of the tub keeps the water
seal lubricated.
•
If you have an air gap,
clean it.
• Check to see if your kitchen
sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
•
If the dishwasher drains
into a disposer, run
disposer clear.
• Use only automatic
dishwasher detergents to
avoid sudsing.
•
To remove suds from the
tub, open the dishwasher
and let suds evaporate.
Add 1 gallon of cold water
to the tub. Close and latch
the dishwasher. Pump out
water by slowly turning the
Dial until a drain period
is reached. Repeat if
necessary.
•
Always wipe up rinse agent
spills immediately.
• Steam comes through the
vent by the door latch
during drying and when
water is being pumped out.
