PROBLEM SOLUTION
DISHWASHER DOES
NOT RUN
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the Start/Resume light is blinking:
■ Front Control models: close the door and press START/RESUME.
■ Top control models: press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
■ Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the
back of the dishwasher.
■ Check to see if any items are protruding through the bottom or back of the rack. Also check to
see if tall items are hitting the upper rack or spray arm. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure
door is closed and latched.
Press START/RESUME or CANCEL, or open and close the door before selecting your cycle/option.
Controls must be awakened after a period of inactivity.
Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. If the control lock indicator is lit, press and hold SANITIZE
for 3 seconds. The control lock LED will turn off and you can then operate the controls.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.
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.
DETERGENT REMAINS
IN THE DISPENSER OR
TABLET IS ON BOTTOM
OF TUB
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.
If the cycle has completed, the “Clean” indicator light will be on in the status display. If it has not
completed, you will need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start/Resume.
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:
■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run
for up to 3 hours. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as drving a car
slower saves on gas.
■ 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 “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section. The
Heated Dry option adds approximately 45 minutes.
Try the Quick cycle. The Quick cycle uses more energy and water to clean the dishes in less time.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING
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.
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.
WILL NOT FILL
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. See “Parts and Features” section.
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water. See “Blinking Lights” in “Troubleshooting” section.
