Self Help
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems
that are unrelated to a malfunction of the
dishwasher itself. The following information may
help you with a dishwasher problem without your
having to call a repair person.
Rattling noises
Utensils may not be properly arranged.
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse
NOTE: The Installation instructions that came
with your dishwasher will help you with the
following instructions.
Dishes do not dry
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check
the rinse agent dispenser and refill it if necessary.
Dishware drying can be accelerated and
enhanced by opening the dishwasher door
slightly and propping it open with the top rack.
The water supply line may be shut off. Check the
water supply valve and open it if it’s shut.
Detergent dispenser cover will not shut
You may not be correctly shutting the detergent
dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and
should be canceled. Go to the Adding Detergent
and Rinse Agent section of this manual for
instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser
cover. Go to the Operating the Dishwasher
section of this manual for instructions on
canceling a cycle.
Indicator light(s) do not come on
Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse
box/breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the
breaker if necessary.
Dishwasher does not start
Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and
latched.
Unsatisfactory washing results
• Incorrect amount of detergent.
• Utensils incorrectly arranged or rack
overloaded.
• Spray arm rotation blocked by utensils.
• Spray arm nozzles need cleaning.
• Filters not properly fitted into position.
• Unsuitable cycle selected.
Suds in dishwasher
You may have used the wrong type of
dishwasher detergent. Use only automatic
dishwasher detergents.
White spots or streaks left on dishes and
glassware
Go to the Rinse Agent Adjustment section of
this manual for instructions on increasing the
amount of rinse agent.
Water not pumped from dishwasher
Make certain the drain hose isn’t kinked, clogged,
or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of
the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the
dishwasher’s enclosure floor (see the Installation
Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain
the filter system isn’t clogged (see the Care and
Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen
sink drain may be clogged; you may need a
plumber rather than a serviceman for the
dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it
may be clogged.
Dishwasher runs a long time
May be due to cold incoming water. Before
starting the dishwasher, open the hot water
faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run
the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water
and start the dishwasher.
