HARD WATER
(WHITE RESIDUE ON
DISHWASHER INTERIOR
OR GLASSWARE)
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make
it dicult 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
®
H

lters at least once per month. See “Cleaning Instructions” in the
“ULTRACLEAN™
H
E
Filtration System” section.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use fresh high quality tablets or packs of detergent for improved performance.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
ODORS NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a
full load is ready to run.
Use a dishwasher cleaner (Part Number W10282479 may be ordered from Sears.com) or 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 Turbo Heat Dry option turned
o. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly. See “Water Remains In The Tub/Will Not Drain”
in the “Troubleshooting” section.
NOISY 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 aect noise levels.
Be sure the lters are properly installed.
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.
FOOD SOILS REMAIN
ON DISHES
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
performance. See “Loading for Best Cleaning and Drying Performance” section.
Check lter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See “Cleaning Instructions” in
the “ULTRACLEAN™
H
E
Filtration System” section for details.
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots & Pans cycle 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
and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).
