If you need service or assistance, we suggest
you follow these four steps:
1.
Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If your dishwasher won’t run, or stops during a
program:
l
Is the door tightly closed and securely
latched?
l
Has the program been correctly set (and the
START Pad pressed]?
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 motor does not start, call for
service.
l
Are you using the POTS & PANS Program or a
HI TEMP Washing Option? Is the dishwasher
waiting for water to heat? (See pages 8 & 91.
If water remains in the dishwasher:
l
Has the program completed?
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
Has the program completed?
If you hear grinding, grating, crunching, buzz-
ing sounds:
l
A hard object has probably entered the
POWER CLEAN Module. The sound should stop
when the object is ground up.
