Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Dishwasher Won’t Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
• Does overfi ll protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfi ll Protector section).
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has
been removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
Dishwasher has an Odor
• Run the dishwasher regularly - whether a
full load is available or not. Soiled dishes
left in dishwasher too long can create an
odor.
• There will be a “new” smell when fi rst
installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly).
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato - based soil can cause a pink/
orange appearance. This will not aff ect
performance and will gradually fade over
time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance
of staining. Using the No Heat Dry option
will lessen staining.
REMOVING SPOTS AND FILM
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the
interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may
also get spots and fi lm for a number of reasons. (See
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To
remove buildup, and fi lm, clean using the following
instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and
latch door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the
second water fi ll (approximately 20 minutes).
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to fi nish.

for automatic dishwashers. Measure
detergent carefully. Try a diff erent
brand.
• Check that the seal for the door is
seated.

and still connected at each end.
• Check that the unit is installed in a level
position according to the installation
instructions that were provided with the
