Solutions to Common Dishwashing Problems
Normal Sounds You Will Hear
• Normal sounds include water fi ll, water
spray, draining and motor sounds.
• There is a noticeable change in sound
when the wash action switches between
the lower and middle spray arm. This
is normal since each spray arm has its
own sound.
• It is normal for the dishwasher to pause
(no sound) when the wash action is
switching between the lower and middle
spray arms.

or if a fuse is blown.

disposer, make sure the disposer is
empty.
• Assure the knockout plug has been
removed from inside the food waste
disposer inlet.

• Make sure cycle is complete, not in a
pause.
• Assure the glass trap is maintained and
installed properly assuring no clogs (See

installed. This is normal.
