Troubleshooting
Normal operating
sounds
Your dishwasher uses energy efficient
motors for the wash and drain portions
of the cycle you select. Each cycle has a
series of water fills and drains for washing
and rinsing dishes. As each cycle begins,
you may or may not hear the drain motor.
You may also hear the splashing of water
as it enters the tub and the spray arms as
they rotate and circulate water. The wash
motor often pulsates throughout the cycle,
which varies water pressure and optimizes
performance.
Normal operating lights
Your dishwasher pad lights when either
the cycle or option desired is selected. All
cycle and option pads have a white back
light when the pads are deselected and
turn blue when selected. In delay selection
and rinse aid setting, the deselected pads
are turned off.
Factors affecting
performance
Water Pressure
The hot water line to dishwasher must
provide water pressure between 20 and
120 psi.
Low water pressure may occur when
laundry or showers are in operation. If
you experience poor wash performance
you may need to wait until water use is
reduced before starting dishwasher.
Water temperature
Hot water is needed for best dishwashing
and drying results. Water entering
dishwasher should be at least 120°F
(49°C) to give satisfactory results.
To check water temperature entering
dishwasher:
• Turn on hot water faucet nearest
dishwasher for several minutes to clear
cool water from pipes.
• Hold a candy or meat thermometer
in the water stream to check the
temperature.
• If temperature is below 120°F (49°C),
have a qualified person raise the hot
water heater thermostat setting.
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 film
for a number of reasons. (See Glassware/
Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section). To
remove buildup, and film, 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 cycle. Press
START. Close and latch the door.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts
the second water fill (approximately 10
minutes).
NOTE
Before starting a cycle, run hot water to
clear cool water from pipes.
NOTE
If the dishwasher door is opened while
the unit is running, the START/CANCEL
pad must be pressed and the door shut
immediately to return the unit to the
selected cycle and option. This must
happen within 10 minutes for the unit to
continue the cycle.
5. Unlatch an and open door and pour 2
cups of white vinegar into the bottom
of dishwasher.
6. Press START. Close and latch door
and allow cycle to finish.
