Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Dishwasher Won't Fill
• Is water supply turned on?
• Does overfi ll protector move up and down
freely? (See Overfi ll Protector section).
Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly
• If unit is hooked up to a food waste
disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has
been removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
Cycle Takes a Long Time
• Is cycle in a water heating delay?
• Assure that the incoming water
temperature is about 120
Dishwasher has an Odor
• Run the dishwasher regularly - whether a
full load is available or not. Soiled dishes
left in dishwasher too long can create an
odor.
• There will be a "new" smell when fi rst
installed. This is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly.
(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain
Properly).
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato - based soil can cause a pink/
orange appearance. This will not aff ect
performance and will gradually fade over
time. Pre-rinsing will reduce the chance
of staining. Using the No Heat Dry option
will lessen staining.
