rinse as described in the section "Spotting and filming on

results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the
dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher Efficiency
Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent?
Use
recommended
dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the
"Detergent Dispenser" section. Detergent must be fresh to be
effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area. Heavy soil and/
or hard water generally require extra detergent.
Do you have hard water? You may need to increase the
amount of detergent you are using. Refer to the "Detergent
Dispenser" section. Also, you may need to switch to a
detergent with a phosphorus content of 8.7%.

not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser.
Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.
Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and
cans?
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to
120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have
questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or
laundry detergents. Use recommended
dishwasher
detergents only.
