If you need setice or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five 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?
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 81 PANS Program or a HI
TEMP Washing Option? Is the dishwasher wait-
ing for water to heat? (See pages 8 & 9).
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, BUZZING SOUNDS:
l
A hard object has probably entered the
POWER CLEAN Module. The sound should stop
when the object is ground up.
