BEFORE YOU CALL
Before calling for service, review this
list. It may save you both time and
expense. This list includes common
experiences that are not the result of
defective workmanship or material in
your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing
time.
• Check rack loading section for proper
loading - avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low -
should be 20 to 120 pounds per square
inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature.
It should be about 120
o
F (49
o
C).
(See Factors Affection Performance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely
hard water, it may be necessary to install
a water softener. (See Detergent Chart).
• Use Fresh Detergent.
• Make sure items are not extending below
the lower rack and preventing the spray
arm from rotating.
• Assure that dishware is not extending
over the square area in the middle of the
lower rack and so preventing the arm
from telescoping up to spray into the
upper rack.
Dishes not Dry
• Select heat dry option.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is fi lled.
• Increase the discharge setting of rinse
aid. (See Rinse Aid).

items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect
water. Load them at the far left and right
sides of the upper rack so they will be
held in a tilted position.
• Unload the lower rack fi rst. During
unloading any liquid left in depressed
areas of mugs or other dishware in the
upper rack may fall onto any dishware left
in the lower rack.
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy

hard water, it may be necessary to install
