CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING
NOTES"
• To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run
for up to 3 hours. To wash dishes with less water the dishwasher must run longer. The
dishwasher uses less energy to run than your water heater does to heat the water that the
dishwasher is using.
• A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.
• Some options will add time to the cycle. (See "Cycles and Options Information" section.)
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle. The 1 Hour Wash uses more energy and water to clean the dishes in
less time.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before selecting and starting the cycle.
WILL NOT FILL
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they tend to collect
water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See the "Loading" section.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items.
• Unload the bottom rack first.
• Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See "Parts and Features.")
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water.
