3.
If you need service*...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If your dishwasher will not run, or stops during
a cycle:
l
Is the door tightly closed and securely
latched?
l
Has the cycle been correctly set?
l
Is the water turned on?
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with
the proper voltage [undercounter models)?
l
If the motor has stopped because of an over-
load, it will automatically reset itself within a
few minutes. If the motor does not start, call for
service.
If your dishwasher seems to run too long:
l
Are you using POTS & PANS Cycle or HI-TEMP
WASHING Option? The dishwasher may be
waiting for the water to heat.
l
Is your household water temperature set too
low? Low water temperature settings will
cause longer dishwasher operating times.
If water remains in the dishwasher:
l
Has the cycle completed?
l
A small amount of remaining water IS normal.
l
Is drain air gap clogged?
