If You Need Service Or Assistance
We suggest you follow
these fiie 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 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 will automatically reset itself within a few min-
utes. If the motor does not start, call for service.
If dishwasher won’t fill:
l
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?
9 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 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 9 for recommended amounts of detergent.
l
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.
