TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
1) Dishwasher
doesn’t run
• Fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped.
• Power supply is not turned on.
• Water pressure is low.
• Replace fuse or reset circuit
breaker.
• Make sure dishwasher is turned on
and door is closed. Plug in cord
securely.
• Check that water supply is connected
and the water is turned on.
2) Drain pump
doesn’t stop
• Overflow • The system is designed to detect an
overflow. When it does, it shuts off the
circulation pump and turns on the drain
pump.
3) Noise
• Some audible sounds are normal.
• Utensils are not secure in basket /
something small dropped into basket.
• Motor hums.
• Sound from soft food shredding
action and detergent cup opening.
• Ensure everything is secured in the
dishwasher.
• If you do not use often, dishwasher
may hum- remember to fill and pump
out appliance every week to keep the
seal moist.
4) Suds in the tub
• Improper detergent.
• Spilled rinse agent.
• Use only dishwasher detergent to
avoid suds. If suds are present, open
the door and let suds evaporate.
• Always wipe rinse agent spills
immediately.
5) Dishes are not
dry
• Rinse agent dispenser is empty. • Make sure that the rinse agent
dispener is filled.
6) Dishes and
flatware are not
clean (spots /
filming)
• Improper program selected/run.
• Improper rack loading.
• Extremely hard water.
• Select a stronger program.
• Make sure that the detergent dis-
penser and spray arms are not blocked
by large dishware.
• Remove all metal utensils from
dishwasher. See “Removing Hard
Water Spots from Dishes” pg 3.
7) Detergent left in
dispenser cups
• Dishes blocking detergent cups. • Re-load the dishes properly.
8) Water standing
in the bottom of
the tub
• This is normal. • A small amount of clean water around
the outlet on the tub button at the back
of the tub keeps the water seal
lubricated.
9) Water doesn’t
pump out of the
tub
• Drain is clogged. • Make sure the kitchen sink is drain-
ing well. If the dishwasher drains into a
disposer, run it clear.
10) Dishwasher
leaks / steams
• Overfill dispenser or rinse aid spills.
• Dishwasher isn’t level.
• Steam is normal.
• Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid
dispenser. Spilled rinse aid could cause
oversudsing and lead to overflowing.
Wipe away any spills with a damp
cloth.
• Make sure the dishwasher is level.
• Steam coming through the vent by
the door latch is normal during drying
and water draining.
