Troubleshooting
DRAIN AIR GAP
Check the drain air gap anytime y
our dishwasher isn’t draining well.
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air
gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. If a drain
is clogged, a drain air gap prevents water from backing up into the
dishwasher.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near
the dishwasher.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of
your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not
cover service costs directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the
external drain air gap.
To Clean the Drain Air Gap:
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of
your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
With most types:
1.
Turn off the dishw
asher.
2.
Lift off the metal cov
er, and then unscrew the plastic cap.
3.
Clean the plastic cap with a toothpick.
