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 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, page 27.) The filter may also need to be cleaned. (See Care of
Filter, page 21.)
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.
• Make sure water supply is turned on.
• Check to see if cycle is set correctly.
(See Operating Instructions, pages 8-12.)
• Check to see if the DELAY START option has been selected.
• Make sure door is closed and latched.
