Dishwasher Leaks

• Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with damp cloth.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions.)
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fill, water
circulation and motor sounds.
Water in Bottom of Tub
• Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is
complete is not normal. If water remains in the
bottom of the tub, dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not
Drain Properly.)
Vapor at Vent
• Water vapor escapes from the vent when the
dishwasher is operating. This is normal.
Dishwasher Won't Run
• Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if a
fuse is blown.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See
Operating Instructions.)
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
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.
Detergent Left in Cups
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh
detergent.
• Be sure water action can reach the dispenser.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent
dispenser from opening.
Dishwasher Has an Odor
• Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long can
create an odor. Rinse dishes if not running
dishwasher at once.
• There will be a "new" smell when first 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 affect performance
and will gradually fade over time. Pre-rinsing
will reduce the chance of staining. Using HEAT
DRY OFF option will lessen staining.
Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on
the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and
glasses may also get spots and film for a number
of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware Spotted or
Cloudy section.) To remove buildup, spots and
film, clean using the following instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal
manner. Do not load any metal utensils or
silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Turn dial to NORMAL WASH. Close and latch
door to start.
4. Allow dishwasher to run for 40 minutes to
reach the main wash portion of cycle.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of
white vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow the cycle to
finish.
Note: If these conditions persist, a home water
softener should be considered.
