How to get rid of odor in Kenmore Lavadora de Platos Dishwasher?
- C
  Colleen BakerSep 4, 2025
  If there's an odor coming from your Kenmore dishwasher, start by removing the filters and cleaning them. Check and clean the door gasket and door seal. Ensure the unit has completely drained from the last cycle. If the drain hose is obstructed, remove any obstructions. If the odor persists, run the Normal Wash cycle, interrupt it, and place an 8 oz. cup of distilled white vinegar solution on the top rack, then finish the cycle.

Why is my Kenmore Lavadora de Platos Dishwasher causing etching (permanent cloudiness)?
- S
  Shelby RogersSep 18, 2025
  Etching (permanent cloudiness) in your Kenmore dishwasher could be happening because some glassware is sensitive to temperature. Too much detergent, or the wrong type or brand of detergent, can also cause this issue. Make sure that glasses are dishwasher safe and select a cycle that does not get as hot, and do not use the heated dry option. The amount of detergent should be based on the hardness of the water and the amount of food soil present. Reduce or change the type/brand of detergent you are using. Do not pre-rinse dishes; scraping excess food soils is all that is required.

How to remove tub stains from Kenmore Lavadora de Platos Dishwasher?
- A
  Alexander EnglishSep 5, 2025
  If your Kenmore dishwasher tub has stains, it may be due to the hardness of the water. Concentrated lemon juice can reduce the buildup of hard water stains. Run a normal cycle, interrupt it, and place an 8 oz. cup of concentrated lemon solution on the top rack, then finish the cycle. This can be done periodically to avoid buildup. Also, ensure that the silverware does not make contact with the tub while running a cycle.

What to do if my Kenmore Lavadora de Platos is not draining?
- J
  John WallaceAug 21, 2025
  If your Kenmore dishwasher isn't draining, several factors could be at play. Check for any kinks or crushing in the drain hose, ensuring it's properly installed and not rotated after attachment. Verify that a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the floor. If the drain hose connects to a food disposer, confirm the plug has been removed. The air gap might need cleaning to ensure proper drainage; for most types, you can lift off the chrome cover, unscrew the plastic cap, and check for soil buildup. If none of these solutions work, it could be a home plumbing issue requiring a certified plumber's attention.
