PROBLEM
Small particles deposited on
items
(continued)
CAUSED BY
“Old” detergent
SOLUTION
Use only fresh dishwasher detergent.
Store tightly closed container in cool
dry place. Discard old detergent. Do
not fill dispensers until ready to start
dishwasher.
Not enough detergent, or improper
detergent
Water is not hot enough
Use more dishwasher detergent. Use
detergent with highest available
phosphorus content . . . especially with
hard water.
Water temperature should be at least
140°F (60%). Set water heater
thermostat to a higher setting. Run
water at sink until hot before starting.
Water pressure may be low,
dishwasher is not filling properly
If water pressure is low, do not use
water for other purposes while
dishwasher is running (to assure
correct fills).
Dishes not dry
No rinse agent
Does the rinse agent dispenser need
filling? See instructions on page 8.
Water is not hot enough
Water temperature should
be
at least
140°F (60°C). Set water heater
thermostat to a higher setting. Run
water at sink until hot before starting.
Improper loading
Make sure dishes and glassware are
loaded so spray reaches all surfaces
and items drain properly. Do not
overload. Do not nest items.
Drying with Energy Saver Option
Allow more time when drying without
heat, or dry with heat. Plastic items
may
need towel drying.
Black marks on dishes
Aluminum utensils rubbing against
items during washing
Use care in loading aluminum utensils,
especially any lightweight foil
container. Place so they do not touch
dishes. Remove black marks with
plastic scouring pad and a mild
abrasive cleanser.
Chipping or breaking glassware
Improper loading
Do not overload. Load glasses in the
top rack only. Load between prongs,
not over them. Glasses loaded over
prongs will not be supported and may
chip or break.
Dishes not washing clean
Water is not hot enough
Water temperature should be at least
140°F (60°C). Set water heater
thermostat to a higher setting. Run
water at sink until hot before starting.
Improper loading
Make sure dishes and glassware are
loaded so spray reaches all surfaces
and items drain properly. Do not
overload. Do not nest items.
Make sure large items do not block
spray from reaching detergent
dispensers.
