SOLUTION
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. (See "DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN DISHWASHER/
CYCLE NOT COMPLETE" in "Troubleshooting.")
Be sure the cycle has completed (the green or blue light is on). If it has not, you will need to
resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been
removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and
make it difficult to achieve good cleaning. You may bring water samples to Sears to check
your water hardness level. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15
grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.
Clean the ULTRA WASH

Always use a rinse aid.
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.

daily until a full load is ready to run, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for
partial loads.
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in
an upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Smart Dry
option turned off. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See "WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL
NOT DRAIN" in "Troubleshooting.")

Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is
draining.
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the
cycle and when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
Improper installation will affect noise levels.
