PROBLEM

Items not properly dried/
moisture is present on the
dishwasher interior after the
dry cycle

Dishware is chipped

Sanitized light does not
illuminate at the end of the
cycle (select models)

SOLUTION

• Be sure Heated Dry is selected.
• Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.
• Use a rinse aid separate from the detergent like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid*

regularly, to improve drying. Turn the rinse aid selector toward the MAX setting.

• Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° F (49° C).
• Select Sanitize and/or Hi Temp Wash (select models).
• Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 6).
• Load properly (pg. 4-5).
• Plastic and items with non-stick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a

porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be
necessary.

• Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying.

Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.

• Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 4-5).
• Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.
• Do not load glasses over the tines.
• Do not overload.

Sanitize was not selected.
• Sanitization can only be achieved with the Auto Wash (select models), Heavy Wash,

Normal Wash or Quick Wash cycles.

• Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power

failure or if incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
