PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES NOT RUN NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the START light is blinking, press the START keypad and close the door within 4
seconds. Be sure the door is closed and latched.
■ Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash
system at the back of the dishwasher.
■ Check to see if any items are protruding through the bottom or back of the rack. Also
check to see if tall items are hitting the upper rack or spray arm. Adjust loading as
necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.
Press the START or CANCEL keypads or open and close the door before selecting your
cycle/option. Controls must be awakened after a period of inactivity.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.
If lights other than START blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE
DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON
BOTTOM OF TUB
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that
may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
Be sure the cycle has completed (the Done light is on). If it has not completed, you will
need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START.
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:
■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption, you will encounter cycles that
typically run for up to 3 hours.
■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best the dishwasher will delay longer while
heating cooler water.
■ Some options will add time to the cycle. See the “Cycle and Option Descriptions”
section. The Heat Dry option adds approximately 45 minutes.
Try the Quick Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difcult 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 Power Dry or Heated Dry option is needed for proper
drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specic loading instructions within
this guide.) Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill
onto other items when unloading.
■ Unload the bottom rack rst.
■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
WILL NOT FILL Be sure the water to the dishwasher is turned on.
Check that the overll protection oat is free from obstructions. See the “Parts and
Features” section.
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not
operate properly or may not ll with water. See “Blinking Lights” in the “Troubleshooting”
section.
WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL
NOT DRAIN
Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean indicator is on). If it has not, you will need to
resume the cycle by pressing START 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 drain or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
