If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow
these five steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems oflen 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?
. Is the water turned on?
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
. Is the dishwasher wired into a live circuit with the
proper voltage?
l
If the motor has stopped because of an overload,
it will automatically reset itself within a few min-
utes. If the motor does not start, call for service.
If your dishwasher seems to run too long:
l
Are you using POTS & PANS Cycle? The dish-
washer 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?
If detergent remains in the covered
detergent cup:
l
Is the bottom rack in backwards?
(The rack bumpers should be at the front.)
l
Is the dishwasher detergent fresh?
l
Is the cycle completed?
If you hear grinding, grating, crunching,
buzzing sounds:
A hard object has probably entered the POWER
CLEAN Module. The sound should stop when
the object is ground up.
