POSSIBLE CAUSE
Aluminum utensils often leave marks when they rub ngainstdishes. Remove marks
with a mild abrasive cleanser.
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal. It is clean
water. It’s there to keep the water seal lubricated.
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the air
gap, if you have one. (See Care and Cleaning section.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure disposer is not
clogged.
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID SUDSING.
Toremove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add
1gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water
by S1OWIy turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’sso important to use a detergent that’s
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.
Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out once every week.
This will help keep the seal moist, and the garbage disposer clear.
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will discolor the tub
interior with extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration.
If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.
You’llhear occasional clicking sounds. These are normal.
● Soft food disposal shredding action.
● Drain valve opening to pump water out.
● Timer control as cycle progresses.
● Detergent cup opening.
During the drying period:
● The motor stops.
Water vapor comes through the vent by the door latch during drying and when
water is being pumped out.
