Storing the Dishwasher
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the
winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing
temperatures or is left in aseasonal dwelling such as a second
home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES
NOT RUN
DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE
DISPENSER OR
TABLET IS ON BOTTOM
OFTUB
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING
WILL NOT FILL
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the START/RESUME light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door firmly within
3 seconds. For fully integrated models (controls on top of console).
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See "Cycles and Options Descriptions.")
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.
If lights other than START/RESUME blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
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 (green light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume
the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.
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 "Cycles and Options Descriptions" section.) The
Heated Dry option adds 1/2hour.
Try the Insta Wash cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
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.
Use of the High Temp Wash option will improve drying results.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific 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 first.
• Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions.
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher
may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
