POSSIBLE CAUSE
Rough handling can cause chipping. Load with care. Make sure glassware and china
are secure and can’t jar loose. (See Loading section for correct way to load glassware.)
Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear the top of the tub when you push the
rack into the dishwasher. Always use the top rack for delicate items.
Use the CHINA CRYSTAL cycle for fine china.
Water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub is normal. It is clean
water. It’s there to keep the water
sed
lubricated.
If the
entire bottom of the tub has water, you may have a drain problem. Clean the
air
gap, if you have one. (See Care and Cleaning section.)
Check the kitchen sink. Is it draining
well?
You may need a plumber.
If dishwasher drains into a disposer, run the disposer to
clear.
Be sure the disposer is
not clogged.
See the SYSTEMS MONITOR section.
Sudsing
detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY AUTOMATIC
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS TO AVOID
SUDSING.
To remove suds from the tub:
Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon
of cold water to the tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. To pump out water, touch
START two times, then immediately touch CLEAR
RESET.
Repeat if
necess~.
Suds can cause unit to
oveflow.
That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s
designed for automatic dishwashers.
Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to
ovefiowing.
(Wipe up accidental spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.)
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis.
If you do not use your dishwasher often set it to fill and pump out once every week.
This will
help
keep the seal moist, and the garbage disposer clear.
Shut off power to dishwasher at fuse or circuit breaker. Wait 5 seconds and restore
power to dishwasher. Try input panel again.
Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that will discolor the tub
interior with extended use. Check the detergent cup for signs of any discoloration.
If cup is discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.
