PROBLEM SOLUTION
FOOD SOILS REMAIN
ONDISHES
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the
washing performance (see "Loading for Best Performance").
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See "Cleaning Instructions"
in "ULTRA WASH ®HE Filtration System" for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots & Pans cycle with the
TURBOZONE
TM
(on some models) 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).
DID NOT SANITIZE If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOTsanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the
final rinse, or your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120°F (49°C).
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading
instructions within this guide.)
BLINKING LIGHTS If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, check the
following:
• Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release.
• Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important following
the new installation of your dishwasher.)
• Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher
sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
Using the incorrect type of detergenh such as dish detergent for hand washing
dishes, laundry detergent, or hand soap.
Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
Call for service.
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
NOTES:
• Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
• Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes.
If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and
rinse aid. (See "HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE] in "Troubleshooting.") If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see
below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the High Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
• Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware
and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the
lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is
needed.
