Solutions to Common Problems
DISHWASHER LEAKS
Use only fresh detergent designed for
automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a different brand.
Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overflowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
Check to see that dishwasher is level (See
Installation Instructions).
NORMAL SOUNDS YOU WILL
HEAR
Normal sounds include water fill, water
circulation, water draining and motor sounds.
Pump pulsing will cause motor speed to
increase and decrease at regular intervals
during cycles.
WATER IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE TUB
It is not normal for water to remain in the
bottom of the tub at the end of a cycle. If
water remains in the bottom of the tub at the
end of a cycle, the dishwasher may not be
draining properly. (See Dishwasher Does Not
Drain Properly). The filter may also need to
be cleaned. (See Care of Filter, page 16.)
Note: It is normal to see a small amount of
water under the filter at the end of a cycle.
DISHWASHER WON’T RUN
Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if
a fuse is blown.

(See Operating Instructions, pages 5-8.)

been selected.
Make sure door is closed and latched.
DISHWASHER DOES NOT
DRAIN PROPERLY
If unit is hooked up to a garbage disposal,
make sure the disposer is empty.
If unit is hooked up to a new food waste
disposer, check to see if the “knockout” plug
located inside the disposal inlet has been
removed.
Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
CYCLE TAKES A LONG TIME
Check to see if cycle is in a water heating
delay.
Check to see if the delay start option has
been selected.
Check to see if the sanitize option has been
selected.
Check to see if dishwasher is in the Child
Lock cycle.

Add 1/2 cup of water to the bottom of the unit
and start again.
