Why does my Kenmore 630.1390 Dishwasher seem to run a long time?
- B
  Brandi SandovalAug 29, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Kenmore dishwasher might seem to run for a long time: * The incoming water might not be warm enough. Run the hot water faucet at the sink nearest to the dishwasher before starting a cycle; incoming water should be at 120°F. * Cycle time can vary due to soil and water conditions. Sensors in the dishwasher automatically increase the cycle time when heavy soil is detected. * The rinse agent dispenser might be empty. Add rinse agent. * The dishwasher might be connected to a cold water supply. Verify it's connected to the hot water supply plumbing. * The selected cycle options may add time to the cycle.

How to remove Tub stains from Kenmore 630.1390?

  Savannah CarrSep 1, 2025
  Tub stains in your Kenmore dishwasher can occur due to: * Hardness of water. Concentrated lemon juice can reduce the buildup of hard water stains. Run a normal cycle until it flushes, interrupt the cycle, place an 8 oz cup of concentrated lemon solution on the top rack, and finish the cycle. This can be done periodically. * Silverware in contact with the tub. Ensure that the silverware does not make contact with the tub while running a cycle.
