Dishwasher Leaks

automatic dishwashers. Measure detergent
carefully. Try a dierent brand.
Etching
• Using too much detergent especially in soft or
softened water causes damage that looks like
a lm but cannot be removed.
• Adjust the amount of detergent based on the
water hardness. (Check Detergent Chart).
• Lower the water temperature.
Detergent Left in Dispenser Cup
• Detergent may be old. Discard and use fresh
detergent.
• Be sure the dish load doesn’t block spray from
entering the detergent cup.
• Check to see if cycle has been completed.
• Make sure items do not prevent the detergent
dispenser from opening.
Vapor at Vent
• Spilled rinse aid can cause foam and lead to
overowing. Wipe up any spills with a damp
cloth.
• Water vapor escapes from the vent during the
drying part of the cycle. This is normal.
• Check to see that dishwasher is level. (See
Installation Instructions).
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).
• Is dishwasher set for Delay Start Option?
• Make sure door is closed and latched.

Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly

make sure the disposer is empty.

removed from inside the food waste disposer
inlet.
• Check to see if drain hose is kinked.

Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with
tomato based soil can cause a pink/orange
appearance. This will not aect performance

lessen staining.
