break tripped.

Twisted or trapped
drain hose.
Filter clogged.
Kitchen sink clogged.
Check the drain hose.
Check coarse the filter.
Check the kitchen sink to make sure it is draining well.
If the problem is the kitchen sink that is not draining,
you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman
for dishwashers.
Suds in the tub. Wrong detergent. Use only the special dishwasher detergent to avoid
suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the bottom
of the dishwasher.
Close the dishwasher door, then select any cycle.
Initially, the dishwasher will drain out the water.
Open the door after draining stage is complete
and check if the suds have disappeared.
Repeat if necessary.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
The dishes
are not clean.
The dishes were not
loaded correctly.
The program was not
powerful enough.
Not enough detergent
was dispensed.
Items are blocking the
movement of the spray arms.
The filter combination is
not clean or is not correctly
fitted in the base of wash
cabinet. This may cause
the spray arm jets to
get blocked.
See notes in “Loading the Dishwasher Baskets”.
Select a more intensive program.
See “Wash Cycle Table”.
Use more detergent, or change your detergent.
Rearrange the items so that the
spray can rotate freely.
Clean and/or fit the filter combination correctly.
See “Cleaning the Spray Arms”.

on glassware.
Combination of soft water
and too much detergent.
Use less detergent if you have soft water and
select a shortest cycle to wash the glassware and to
get them clean.
Black or gray
marks on dishes.
Aluminum utensils have
rubbed against dishes.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate those marks.
Detergent left in
dispenser cups.
Dishes block
detergent cups.

not drying.
Improper loading.
Too little rinse-aid.
Dishes are removed

been selected.
Use of cutlery with
a low-quality coating.
Load the dishwasher as suggested in the directions.
Increase the amount of rinse-aid/refill the
rinse-aid dispenser.
Do not empty your dishwasher immediately after
washing. Open the door slightly so that the steam can
escape. Begin unloading the dishwasher only once
the dishes are barely warm to the touch. Empty the
low basket first. This prevents water form dropping
o dishes in the upper basket.
In short program the washing temperature is lower.
This also lowers cleaning performance. Choose a
program with a long washing time.
Water drainage is more dicult with these items.
Cutlery or dishes of this type are not suitable for
