Active Vent
The active vent reduces the sounds from your dishwasher. The
vent closes, after the cycle starts, to lock in sound. The active
vent opens when wash action ends and vapor is vented into
room. Between cycles, the vent stays open for airflow, reducing
the buildup of odors.
NOTE: There is a slight noise when the cover closes or opens.
This is normal.
IMPORTANT: The vapor is hot. Do not touch the vent
during drying.
Overfill Protection Float
The overfill protection float (in the front right corner of the
dishwasher tub) keeps the dishwasher from overfilling. It must be
in place for the dishwasher to operate.
Check under the float for objects that may keep the protector
from moving up or down.
