The Problem
(continued)
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
CHIPPING OF CHINA Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
secure and can’t jar loose. (See pages 14 and 15 for correct way to load glassware.)
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the
rack into the dishwasher. Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use the CHINA-CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
SMALL AMOUNT OF Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal. It is clean
WATER STANDING water. It’s there to keep the water seal lubricated.
IN THE BOTTOM
OF THE TUB
WATER WON’T PUMP If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the air
OUT OF THE TUB gap, if you have one. (See page 21.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to clear. Be sure the disposer is
not clogged.
See the SYSTEMS (pages 8-10).
SUDS IN THE TUB detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon
of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. To pump out water, touch
START two times, then immediately touch CLEAR-RESET.
Repeat if necessary,
DISHWASHER LEAKS Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.
(Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.)
