Troubleshooting
Solution
• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).
• Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
• Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly
(pg. 15).
• Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.
• Select proper cycle for the soil level (pg. 17).
• Select proper option, Hi Temp .
• Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in
one of the water inlet holes (pg. 14).
• Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pgs. 11-12).
• Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork
handles down.
• Do not place glasses over tines.
• Before loading, scrape off burnt-on foods and wipe the starchy film
from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
• Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against
other items. Leave a slight space between items.
• Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on
dishes or the dishwasher tub. A rust filter may be needed. Check with
a water treatment company.
• Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These
metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
• Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the interior parts of the
dishwasher (pg. 21). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open
to oxidize the stain away. Use a dishwasher detergent that contains
chlorine to better fight staining.
• Certain dishwasher detergents may stain silver. Try another brand of
detergent.
• Be sure Air Dry is not selected.
• Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying
process.
• Use a rinse aid separate from the detergent like Jet Dry* or Cascade
Rinse Aid* regularly to improve drying. Turn the rinse aid selector
toward the MAX setting.
• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).
• Select Sanitize option.
• Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 15).
• Load properly. (pgs. 11-12)
• Plastic and items with non-stick surfaces are difficult to dry because
they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets.
Towel drying may be necessary.
• Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel
drying. Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for
improved results.
