SOLUTION
Be sure the cycle has completed. (The Complete indicator light will be on.) If it has not, resume
the cycle by:
Pressing Start/Resume and closing the door within 4 seconds.
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been
removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for kinks in the drain hose.
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.
Remove and clean the Ultra Wash
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make
it difficult to achieve good cleaning. You may bring water samples to Sears to check your water
hardness level. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15 grains or more.
If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.
® H E
Clean the Ultra Wash filters at least once per month. See "Cleaning Instructions" in the "Ultra
® H E
Wash Filtration System" section.
Always use a rinse aid.
Always use fresh high-quality tablets or packs of detergent for improved performance.
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a Rinse cycle with the partial load until
a full load is ready to run or use the Top Rack Only option for partial loads.
Use a dishwasher cleaner (Part Number W10282479 may be ordered from Sears.com) or run
a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright
glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a Normal cycle with the SmartDry™ option turned
off. Do not use detergent.
The dishwasher may not be draining properly. See "Water Remains In The Tub/Will Not Drain"
in the "Troubleshooting" section.
Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and
when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.
Improper installation will affect noise levels.
Be sure the filters are properly installed.
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash
arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
performance. See the "Loading for Best Cleaning and Drying Performance" section.
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See "Cleaning Instructions"
® H E
in the "Ultra Wash Filtration System" section for details.
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots & Pans cycle with the TurboZone
option can be used for tougher loads.
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier soiled loads
and hard water conditions.
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).

filters and check for any food buildup underneath.
