If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow
these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without 1001s
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?
l
If the motor has stopped because of an overload,
It WIII automatically reset itself within a few min-
utes. If the molor does not start, call for service.
If your dishwasher seems to run too long:
l
Are you using Pots & Pans Cycle or Hi-Temp
Wash Option? The dishwasher may be waiting
for the water to heat.
If dishwasher won’t fill:
. Is overflow protector stuck in “up” position?
Overflow protector should move up and down
freely. Press down to release.
If water remains in the dishwasher:
l
Has the cycle completed?
l
A small amount of remaining water IS normal
. Is drain air gap clogged?
If detergent remains in the covered
detergent cup:
. Is the bottom rack in backwards? (The rack
bumpers should be at the front.)
l
Is the dishwasher detergent fresh and dry
without lumps?
l
Is the cycle completed?
If white residue appears on front of
access panel:
l
Is more detergent being used than needed? See
page 10 for recommended amounts of detergent.
9 Some liquid detergents develop excess foam
and build up on exterior of access panel. Try a
different brand to reduce foaming and eliminate
build-up.
If you hear grinding, grating, crunching,
buzzing sounds:
l
A hard object has probably entered the POWER
CLEAN’” Module. The sound should stop when
the object is ground up.
