Solutions to common problems
Before calling for service, review this list. If
may save you both time and expense. This list
includes common experiences that are not the
result of defective workmanship or material in
your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Choose the Hi-Temp Wash option.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading-
avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low-should
be 20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should
be about 120
o F (49 o C). (See Factors Affecting
Performance.)

water, it may be necessary to install a water
softener. (See Detergent Chart).
• Use Fresh Detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray
arms, preventing them from rotating.

Load them at the far left of the upper rack so
