POSSIBLE CAUSE
Aluminum utensils often leave marks when they rub against dishes. Remove marks
with a mild abrasive cleanser.
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 seal 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 disposer, run disposer to
clear.
Be sure disposer is
not
clogged.
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. Pump
out
water by slowly
turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
Repeat if necessary.
Suds can cause unit to overflow. 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 overflowing.
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.
