DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading instructions
within this guide.)
BLINKING LIGHTS Blinking LEDs will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by opening
the door. In this case, the Start/Resume button LED, the Cycle Status Indicator LED(s), and the
countdown bars on the Cycle Status display all blink together to indicate that attention is needed. See
“Start or Resume a Cycle” in the “Dishwasher Use” section.
Blinking LEDs can also occur when certain errors have been detected. In this case, the Clean/Complete
LED will blink 4 times in a row with a pause in between each set of blinks. When this error occurs, the
controls will lock out and not allow another cycle to be started.
Call for service.
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
NOTES:
■ Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
■ Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the
cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See “Hard
Water (White Residue On Dishwasher Interior Or Glassware)” in the “Troubleshooting” section. If it does
not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
■ Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and metal
items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal
cycle with the Heat Dry or ProDry™ option turned off. No detergent is needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water that is
too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs food soil to
act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid further etching,
adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating
options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only detergents
designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand of detergent
if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED NOTES:
■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
■ Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
■ A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
