Problem Solution Guide (Continued)
Problem May Be Caused By What to Do
Dishes not dry (cont.) Improper loading or
unloading
Do not overload or nest items. Make sure dishwasher
is loaded according to instructions starting on page 4.
Larger loads tend to dry better.
Dry cycle interrupted Door opened too soon. Make sure dry portion of cycle
is complete before opening door.
Chipping or breaking
of glassware
Improper loading Do not overload. Load between rack prongs, not
over them. Glasses loaded over prongs will not be
supported and may chip or break. Make sure glassware
is secure and can’t come loose. Always use the top
rack for delicate items.
Dishes are not clean Spray arms do not rotate
properly
Make sure that both spray arms rotate freely. Make
sure that items do not obstruct movement of spray
arms. If necessary, clear any obstructions.
Make sure holes in spray arms are not blocked. If
necessary, clean spray arms. See page 4.
Incorrect detergent use Use only correct amount of dishwasher detergent
according to water hardness. See page 8. Fill dispenser
only when ready to start the dishwasher. Do not use
old or caked detergent. Store dishwasher detergent
in dry place and in a closed container. Change the
dishwasher detergent if results are still poor.
Cycle selected is too short Select normal or heavy wash cycle.
Incorrect loading Make sure dishes and flatware are loaded properly.
See Loading Your Dishwasher section. Make sure all
items are loaded securely and do not tip over.
