Self Help

Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following

information may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person.

Dishes do not dry

The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and rell it if necessary. Dishware drying can be

accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack.

Indicator light(s) do not come on

A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the

fuse or reset the breaker if necessary.

Dishwasher does not start

The dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.

Dishwasher runs a long time

If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before

startingthedishwasher,openthehotwaterfaucetatthesinknearestthedishwasher.Runthewateruntilitrunshot,thenturno

the water and start the dishwasher.

Machine cycle does not advance to rinse

NOTE: The Installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. The water supply line

maybeshuto.Checkthewatersupplyvalveandopenitifit’sshut.

White spots left on dishes

More rinse agent is needed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the

amount of rinse agent dispensed.

Water not pumped from dishwasher

Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of the drain hose is at least 20

inches above the dishwasher’s enclosure oor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the lter system

isn’t clogged (see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a

plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged.

Detergent dispenser cover will not shut

You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not nished and should be cancelled. Go to the

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the

Operating the Dishwasher section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle.

Streaks on glassware

Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on

decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
