PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER
STANDING IN THE BOTTOM OF
THE TUB
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is
normal. It is clean water. It's there to keep the water seal lubricated.
WATER WON
ÕT PUMP OUT OF
THE TUB
If the entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain
problem. Clean the air gap, if you have one. (See Care and
Cleaning section.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining well? You may need a
plumber.
If dishwasher drains into disposer, run disposer to clear. Be sure
disposer is not clogged.
DISHWASHER LEAKS
Suds can cause unit to overflow. That's why it's so important to use
a detergent that's designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can
lead to overflowing. Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a
damp cloth.
MOTOR HUMS
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump out
once every week. This will help keep the seal moist, and the food
disposer clear.
SUDS IN THE TUB
Sudsing detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID
SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close and latch
the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning the control dial
until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
STAINING OF
TUB INTERIOR
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will
discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check the detergent
cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is discolored, change to
detergent without any colorant.
