Understanding the status indicators
Washing
The Washing indicator glows at the start of
the first fill of any cycle
(except Rinse Only) and
remains on until the end
of the main wash.
Add-A-Dish
(on some models)
The Add-A-Dish indicator glows as soon as
the dishwasher starts and
keeps glowing until the main
wash portion of the cycle
begins. You can add an
additional item while the indicator is on.
Water Heating
The Water Heating indicator glows when-
ever water is heated
during a cycle.
Rinsing
The Rinsing indicator glows during the last
two rinses of all cycles.
WASHING
Drying
The Drying indicator glows during the
drying portion of each
cycle – even if you select
Air Dry. It turns off at
the end of the cycle. If
dishes are not as dry as you expected when
using Air Dry, either allow longer drying
times (overnight) or do not use Air Dry.
Clean
The Clean indicator glows at the end of a
cycle to show that the
load is clean. All other
indicators turn off. The
Clean indicator glows until
you open the door or press Cancel/Drain or
any other control pad.
Controls Locked
The Controls Locked feature lets you lock
the control pads. When
the controls are locked,
you cannot start the
dishwasher.

Press and hold Air Dry (about 5
seconds) until the Controls Locked
indicator glows.
