PROBLEM
CAUSED BY
SOLUTION
Bronze tarnish on silverplate
Silverplate is worn off. Exposed base
metal takes on a bronzed hue
Remove tarnish with silver polish. Have
silver replated.
Water left in bottom of dishwasher
Dishwasher cycle not completed Allow dishwasher to complete cycle.
Some remaining water is normal and
keeps seals from drying.
Clogged drain air gap
Some plumbing codes require use of a
drain air gap between an undercounter
dishwasher and the drain system of the
house. The air gap is usually located
above the sink or on the top of the
counter near the dishwasher to prevent
the possibility of water backing up from
the drain into the dishwasher due to a
plugged drain. The drain air gap is NOT
a part of the dishwasher and is NOT
covered by the dishwasher warranty.
The drain air gap should be kept clean
to ensure proper draining of the
dishwasher.
