Removing Spots And Film - Frigidaire Dishwasher Use & Care Manual

Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fi ll, water
circulation, motor sounds, and fl uid
draining.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Assure that the incoming water
temperature is about 120
Dishwasher Won't Run
• Check to see if a 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 Won't Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
• Does overfi ll protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfi ll Protector section).
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
• Run the dishwasher regularly - whether a
full load is available or not. Soiled dishes
left in dishwasher too long can create an
odor.
• There will be a "new" smell when fi rst
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 no heat dry option will
lesson staining.
