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 a 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.
There is a noticeable change in sound when the wash
action switches between the lower and middle spray
arm. This is normal since each spray arm has its own
sound.
•
It is normal for dishwasher to pause (no sound) when
the wash action is switching between the lower and
middle spray arms.
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 during the drying
part of cycle. This is normal.
Dishwasher
Won't
Start
•
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.)
•
Is dishwasher set for delay start option?
•
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.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
•
Is cycle in a water heating delay?
•
Check incoming water temperature. It should be
120°F (49°C).
•
Has the delay start option been selected?
Dishwasher
Won't Fill
•
Is water supply turned on?
•
Does overfill protector move up and down freely? (See
Overfill Protector section.)
•
The normal full water level of the dishwasherwill
only
reach the bottom of the heater clips.
Dishwasher Has an Odor
•
Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can create
an odor. Use the QUICK RINSE cycle.
•
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 or using the QUICK RINSE cycle
will reduce the chance of staining. Using the 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.
Select the HEAVY WASH cycle. Close and latch
door.
4.
Allow dishwasher to run for 20 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 cycle to finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener
should be considered.
