Dishwasher does
not run or stops
during a cycle
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash.
Is the door closed tightly and latched?
Is the right cycle selected?
Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset
the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart,
call for service.
Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on?
The Clean light is
flashing
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds.
If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for service.
Dishes do not dry
completely
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends 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.
■ Adjust your rinse aid dispenser to a higher setting allowing a larger amount of rinse aid to dispense. (See section on
adding rinse aid.)
Noise NOTES:
■ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the wash cycle and during the drain cycle.
■ 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.
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware
and resume the cycle.
Spotting/Filming NOTES:
■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
■ Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the cloudiness disappears, it
is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. (See “Dishwasher Care” section.) If it does not come
clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the Hi Temp or Steam Sanitize option.
To remove spotting, see “Dishwasher Care” section.
Dishwasher does
not clean
completely
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance.
Select the proper cycle for the type of soils. The Auto or PowerBlast™ cycles can be used for tougher loads.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads or hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).
If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill
with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes, laundry detergent, or hand
soap.
■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Dishwasher does
not drain
Be sure the cycle has been completed (the green light is on). If the cycle has not been completed, you will need to resume
the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 4 seconds.
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 air gap, drain hose, or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
