If these conditions persist, a home water softener should
be considered.

sure the disposer is empty.
• Check to see if the knockout plug has been removed
from inside the food waste disposer inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.
• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a pause.
Dishwasher Won’t Fill

an odor. Use Rinse & Hold cycle.
• There will be a “new” smell when first installed. This
is normal.
• Check to see if unit is draining properly. (See

Removing Spots and Film
Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup on the
interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and glasses may also
get spots and film for a number of reasons. (See
Glassware/Flatware Spotted or Cloudy section.) To
remove buildup, spots and film, clean using the following
instructions:
1. Load clean dishes and glasses in normal manner. Do
not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch
door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow dishwasher to run until it starts the second
water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING
light will be off.
5. Unlatch and open door and pour 2 cups of white
vinegar into the bottom of dishwasher.
6. Close and latch door and allow cycle to finish.
