Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Dishware Stained or Discolored
• Tea and coff ee can stain cups. Remove
the stains by hand washing in a solution
of 1/2 cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart
(1L) of warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow
or brown fi lm. A special fi lter installed
in the water supply line will correct this
problem. (See Removing Spots and Film).
• Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black
marks when they rub against other items.
Load Properly.
• Certain high acid foods can cause
discoloration of stainless steel and plastics
if allowed to sit for a long period. Use
the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by hand if
not operating dishwasher at once.
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in
soft or softened water causes damage
that looks like a fi lm but cannot be
removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based
on the water hardness. (Check Detergent
Chart).
• Use the heat dry option and do not leave
dishware in unit longer than necessary.
• Detergent Left in Cups
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use
fresh detergent.
• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray
from entering the detergent cup.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the
detergent dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
• Water vapor escapes from the vent
during the cycle. This is normal and
essential for drying.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and
lead to overfl owing. Wipe up any spills
with a damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions).
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fi ll, water
circulation, motor sounds, and fl uid
draining.
Water in Bottom of Tub
• Water left in the tub bottom after the
cycle is complete is not normal. If water
remains in the bottom of the tub, the
dishwasher may not be draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does not Drain Properly).
Dishwasher Won’t Run
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped
or if a fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See
Operating Instructions).
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
