Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems

(continued)

Dishware

Stained

or Discolored

Tea and coffee can stain cups. Remove the

stains by hand washing

in a solution

of 1/2

cup (120 ml) bleach and one quart (1 L) of

warm water. Rinse thoroughly.

Iron deposits

in water can cause a yellow or

brown film. A special filter installed

in the

water supply line will correct this problem.

(See Removing

Spots and Film.)

• Aluminum

utensils can leave gray/black

marks when they rub against other items.

Load properly.

Certain

high acid foods can cause

discoloration

of stainless

steel and plastics

if allowed to sit for a long period. Use the

Rinse/Hold

cycle or rinse by hand if not

operating

dishwasher

at once.

Mixing stainless

steel and silver utensils in

silverware

basket can cause pitting of the

stainless

steel blades. Avoid mixing

stainless

steel and silver.

Etching

• Using too much detergent in soft or softened

water causes this film that cannot be

removed.

• Adjust the amount of detergent

based on the

water hardness.

(Check Detergent

Chart.)

• Lower the water temperature.

• Use the Cool Dry option.

Detergent

Left in Cups

• Detergent

may be old. Discard and use

fresh detergent.

• Be sure water action can reach the

dispenser.

• Check to see if cycle has been completed.

• Make sure items do not prevent the

detergent

dispenser

from opening.

Dishwasher

Leaks

•

Use only fresh detergent

designed

for

automatic

dishwashers.

Measure detergent

carefully. Try a different brand.

•

Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead

to overflowing.

Wipe up any spills with a

damp cloth.

•

Check to see that dishwasher

is level. (See

Installation

Instructions.)

Normal

Sounds

You Will Hear

• Normal sounds include water fill, water

circulation and motor sounds.

There is a noticeable

change in sound

when the wash action switches

between the

lower and middle spray arm. This is normal

since each spray arm has its own sound.

It is normal for dishwasher

to pause (no

sound) when the wash action is switching

between the lower and middle spray arms.

Water in Bottom of Tub

Water left in bottom of tub after cycle is

complete

is not normal. If water remains in

the bottom of the tub, dishwasher

may not

be draining properly. (See Dishwasher

Does

Not Drain Properly.)

Vapor at Vent

• Water vapor escapes

from the vent when

the dishwasher

goes into the drying part of

cycle. This is normal.

Dishwasher

Won't Run

•

Check to see if circuit breaker is tripped or if

a fuse is blown.

•

Make sure water supply is turned on.

•

Check to see if cycle is set correctly. (See

Operating

Instructions.)

•

Make sure door is closed and latched.
