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.
Dishes do not dry
The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid 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.
Indicator light(s) do not come on
a fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. 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
the dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched.
Dishwasher runs a long time
if the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it 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.
Machine cycle does not advance to rinse
NOTE: the installation Manual that came with your dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. the water supply line may
be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if it’s shut.
White spots left on dishes
More rinse agent is needed. Go to the adding Detergent and rinse agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the
amount of rinse agent dispensed.
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.
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 cancelled. 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.

decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed.
