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
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
will automatically reset itself within a few minutes. If
the motor does not start, call for service.
l
Is the delay feature on?
If your dishwasher seems to run too long:
l
Are you using the POTS & PANS Cycle or HI-TEMP Wash-
