Before calling for service …
If your appliance fails to operate, review the following list and the “Solving Common
Dishwashing Problems” section on pages 27-29 before calling your dealer. This could
save you the cost of a service call.
Dishwasher is not operating properly
CHECK THE FOLLOWING
Is the door tightly closed?
Has the cycle been set correctly? See page 7.
Is Child Lock on? See page 21.
Has a household fuse or circuit breaker blown or tripped?
Is the water supply turned on?
If the motor has stopped because of an overload, it will automatically
reset itself within a few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for service.
Is the overflow protection float stuck in “up” position? It should move up
and down freely. Press down to release. See page 24.
Is the incoming water temperature low? The dishwasher will run longer
while water automatically heats or if the High Temp. Wash option has
been selected. Set your water heater to ensure that the water entering
the dishwasher is at least 120°F (49°C).
Wait for the cycle to finish. A small amount of water remaining is
normal. Check the drain air gap (if installed). If it is clogged, follow the
manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. See page 26.
Use fresh detergent and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
Throw away any lumpy detergent.
Wait for the cycle to complete itself.
Overflow protection float should move up and down freely. Press
down to release. See page 24.
Some detergents foam a lot and can build up on the access panel.
Try using less detergent or a different brand to reduce foaming and
eliminate buildup.
Run a Rinse Only cycle at least once or twice a day until a full load is
accumulated.
