TROUBLESHOOTING
Common Solution
•
Check water hardness. For extremely hard water,
it may be necessary to install a water softener.
(See Detergent Chart).
•
Water temperature may be low. Avoid extremely
low or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting
Performance.
•
Avoid overloading and improper loading. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes).
•
Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
•
Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
•
Check to see that proper amount of detergent
is being used for cycle selected. (See Detergent
Dispenser).
•
Home water pressure may be too low-it should be
20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
•
Load with care and do not overload. (See
Preparing and Loading Dishes).
•
Place delicate items in top rack.
•
Place glasses securely against pins and not over
pins.
•
Load items so they are secure and don't jar loose
when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and
out slowly.
•
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top
of tub when rack is pushed in.
•
Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-
washed.
•
Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the stains
by hand washing in a solution of 1/2 cup (120 ml)
bleach and one quart (1L) of warm water. Rinse
thoroughly.
•
Iron deposits in water can cause a yellow or
brown film. A special filter installed in the
water supply line will correct this problem. (See
Removing Spots and Film).
•
Aluminum utensils can leave gray/black marks
when they rub against other items. Load Properly.
•
Certain high acid foods can cause discoloration of
stainless steel and plastics if allowed to sit for a
long period. Use the Rinse Only cycle or rinse by
hand if not operating dishwasher at once.
•
Mixing stainless steel and silver utensils in
silverware basket can cause pitting of the
stainless steel blades. Avoid mixing stainless steel
and silver.
•
Using too much detergent especially in soft or
softened water causes damage that looks like a
film but cannot be removed.
•
Adjust the amount of detergent based on the
water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
•
Lower the water temperature by selecting the
Normal Cycle.`
