Troubleshooting
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
Dishware
chipped
• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading
Dishes).
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose when moving
racks in and out. Move racks in and out slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of tub when
rack is pushed in.
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).
Dishware
stained or
discolored
• Tea and coffee 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 film. A special
filter 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
cycle or rinse by hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
• Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in silverware basket can
cause pitting of the stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless
steel and silver.
Cycle takes a
long time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Has the DELAY option been selected?
• Has the SANITIZE option been selected?
Normal sounds
you will hear
• Normal sounds include water fill, water circulation and motor
sounds.
Dishwasher
leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic dishwashers.
Measure detergent carefully. Try a different brand.
Etching • Using too much detergent especially in soft or softened water
causes damage that looks like a film but cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness.
(Check Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature.
Detergent left in
dispenser cup
• 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.
