TROUBLESHOOTING

CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.
SOLUTION
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and press START/RESUME or press START/
RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the
back of the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.
Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. (Control/Lock indicator will be lit.)
Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See "Cycles and Options Information.")
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be
blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
Be sure the cycle has completed. The Complete indicator will be on in the display and the front
status light (on some models) will be off. If the cycle has not completed, you will need to resume
the cycle. Close the door and press START/RESUME or press START/RESUME and close the door
within 3 seconds.
NOTES:
To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run
for up to 3 hours. To wash dishes with less water the dishwasher must run longer. The
dishwasher uses less energy to run than your water heater does to heat the water that the
dishwasher is using.
A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.
Some options will add time to the cycle. (See "Cycles and Options Information" section.)
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle. The 1 Hour Wash uses more energy and water to clean the dishes in
less time.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before selecting and starting the cycle.
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they tend to collect
water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See the "Loading" section.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items.
Unload the bottom rack first.
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float is free from obstructions. (See "Parts and Features.")
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate
properly or may not fill with water.
