PROBLEM
iSOLUTION
DISHWASHER
DOES
NOT RUN
NOTE: It is normal
for the dishwasher
to repeatedly
pause several times during a cycle.
If the Start/Resume
light is blinking,
close the door and push START/RESUME.
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 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.
DETERGENT REMAINS
IN
THE DISPENSER OR
TABLET IS ON BOTTOM
OF TUB
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
(green or blue light is on). If it has not completed,
you will
need to resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG
NOTES:
•
To use less water
and reduce energy consumption
you will encounter
cycles that
typically
run for up to 3 hours.
•
A water
heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is besh the dishwasher
will delay longer while
heating
cooler water.
•
Some options will add time to the cycle. (See "Cycles and Options
Information"
section.)
The Heated Dry option adds 1/2 hour.
Try the 1 Hour Wash
cycle.
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher
before starting the cycle.
DISHWASHER
NOT DRYING
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult
to dry because they have a
porous surface which tends 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 specific loading
instructions
within this
guide.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms
hold water. This water
may spill onto other items
when unloading.
•
Unload the bottom
rack first.
•
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved
results.
WILL NOT FILL
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.
