Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in
models)
Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop?
Moisture from the vent in the dishwasher console can
form on the counter. Refer to the Installation
Instructions for more information.
Bottom rack does not fully slide into the dishwasher
Check to see if items loaded for TURBOZONETM wash
option have shifted. Reload to keep items from
interfering with spray jets or spray arm. (See "Bottom
Rack Loading" section.)
• Food soil left on the dishes
Is the dishwasher loaded correctly? Refer to the
"Loading" section.
Is the water temperature too low? For best
dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it
enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of fresh detergent? Use
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer to the
"Detergent" dispenser section. Detergent must be fresh
to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry area.
Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra
detergent.
Do you have hard water? You may need to increase the
amount of detergent you are using. Refer to the
"Detergent" dispenser section. Also, you may need to
switch to a detergent with a phosphorus content of
8.7%.
Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent
only. Do not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a
wet dispenser. Clean dispenser when caked detergent
is present.
Is the wash system clogged by labels from bottles and
cans? Be sure to remove all labels from bottles and
cans before washing.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be
20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher
fill. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap
or laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher
detergents only.
• Dishes in the TURBOZONETM wash area are not clean
Are the dishes loaded to face the TURBOZONETM spray
jets? Load soiled dish surfaces to face the back of the
dishwasher toward the TURBOZONETM spray jets. Tilt the
dishes toward the back so water can drain from
surfaces, and the lower spray arm can wash the item
from below.
NOTE: Loaded items may shift when dish racks are
pushed into the dishwasher. Make sure dishes do not
interfere with the spray arms, water feed tube, or
TURBOZONETM spray jets.
Are items loaded so they do not overlap? Load items
only one row deep without any overlap so that the
TURBOZONETM spray jets can reach all surfaces.
Are the TURBOZONETM spray jets free to rotate? Make
sure that no loaded items are interfering with the spray
jets' rotation.
Spots and stains on dishes
Spotting and filming on dishes
Is your water hard or is there a high mineral content in
your water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a
liquid rinse aid helps eliminate spotting and filming.
Keep the rinse aid dispenser filled.
Is the water temperature too low? For best
dishwashing results, water should be 120°F (49°C) as it
enters the dishwasher. Refer to the "Dishwasher
Efficiency Tips" section.
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent?
Use recommended dishwasher detergents only. Refer
to the "Detergent" dispenser section. Detergent must
be fresh to be effective. Store detergent in a cool, dry
area. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require
extra detergent.
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper
dishwasher filling? Home water pressure should be
20 to 120 psi (138 to 828 kPa) for proper dishwasher
fill. If you have questions about your water pressure,
call a licensed, qualified plumber.
NOTE: To remove spots and film from dishes, try a
white vinegar rinse. This procedure is intended for
occasional use only. Vinegar is an acid, and using it too
often could damage your dishwasher.
1. Wash and rinse dishes. Use an air-dry or an energy
saving dry option. Remove all silverware or metal
items.
2. Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or
dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom
rack.
3. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing
cycle using an air-dry option. Do not use detergent.
Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
