Section 2. Electrical Equipment & Testing
Electrical Test Equipment
The equipment required to service these models depends
largely upon the condition encountered. Locating a
malfunction will often require the use of electrical testing
equipment such as:
Digital Test Meter
can be used to check for open
or closed circuits, measure
resistance, AC and DC volts,
and temperature.
Appliance Test Meter
Clamp-OnAmmeter
Motor Test Cord
Appliance Test Meter
An Appliance Test Meter is a multi-purpose tester
combining anAC/DC voltage tester with a multi-range
ohmmeter.
Analog Test Meter
o check for
d circuits,
tance, AC and
temperature.
The easiest means of testing electrical components is
"Continuity Testing" with an appliance meter. Continuity
is a complete or continuous path from one point in an
electrical circuit to another.
The obvious advantages of being able to check electrical
components and circuits without power applied is one of
the features of the Ohmmeter. Multiple ranges allow
accurate determination of resistances of both single
components and entire circuit paths. Resistance is
measured in "Ohms."
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
Always be sure the power has been disconnected
before making resistance measurements. Failure to
do so will also result in damage to your meter!
Internal batteries provide all the power needed to
make resistance checks. They should be checked
at least once a year and replaced as needed.
Continuity Testing: is a process of eliminating electrical
components involved in a given function of the appliance,
until the inoperative part is found. By reviewing the list of
possible electrical problems under a given condition, and
then performing appropriate continuity checks of the parts
involved, you should be able to locate the electrical
component which is inoperative.
NOTE: When checking components or circuit paths for
continuity, external wiring should be disconnected to
eliminate false readings through external paths. Isolate
what you want to test.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT & TESTING
Use of Ammeter on dishwasher:
VOLTAGE CHECKS
Generally, these checks will consist of taking readings
at the wall receptacle in order to determine the
availability of voltage to the product. Voltage checks on
individual components of a product are not
1. Motor Current - the reading can be taken at the
leads on the motor start relay or at the male connec-
tor.
recommended due to the possibility of electrical shock.
Component part testing is best accomplished through
continuity checks with an Appliance Test Meter.
2. Heating Element Current - The reading can be
taken using either lead to the element.
NOTE: Use of the meter on voltage higher than the
indicated range may cause permanent damage to the
meter. To prevent damage, first select highest range and
then lower the range for readings which fall within the
lower scale.
Motor Test Cord
DANGER
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
Clamp-On Ammeter
can be used to detect shorts.
Overloads on the circuit breaker
or fuse can be traced
to either the appliance
or circuit breaker by
checking the current
draw.
• Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
servicing.
• Always plug test cord into a properly grounded
receptacle.
• Always make connection to components before
plugging test cord into receptacle.
A motor test cord may be used to electrically check
operation of the various electrical components without
removing them from the unit. Testing in this manner
merely determines whether or not the part will function
independently of other electrical components. In order to
make accurate tests, proper connection of the motor test
cord is important. With the aid of the drawings under
Drive Motor Test, installation of the motor test cord may
be done quickly and accurately.
Each circuit in an appliance has a "Normal" current
draw, which is an indication of the performance of that
circuit. Current draw levels of less than or more than
normal give clues to possible malfunctions. The clamp-
on ammeter measures these circuits without breaking
the circuit by measuring the strength of the magnetic
field developed around each conductor. Current is read
by separating the conductors and clamping the jaws of
the ammeter around each conductor on which current is
read. Low amperage readings indicate problems, such
as damaged heating elements, etc. High amperage
readings indicate the unit being tested is operating under
an increased mechanical or electrical load.
Grounding and Polarity
DANGER
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to
electrical shock:
NOTE: Overloads on a circuit breaker or fuse can be
traced to the product being tested or the circuit breaker
(or fuse) by checking the products current draw. If the
amperage reading is less than the breaker reading, the
breaker or fuse box is at fault.
• Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from any
plug.
The receptacle used for all Maytag products operating on
120 VAC must be properly grounded and polarized.
The power cord used on the appliances should be
equipped with a three (3) prong polarized grounding plug

for protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded and polarized
receptacle.
Wax Motor Check
Detergent / Rinse Aid Dispenser
It is the responsibility of the person installing the
appliance to assure it is adequately grounded and
polarized at the point of installation, taking into
consideration local conditions and requirements. In
cases where only a two (2) prong receptacle is available,
it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded three (3) prong
receptacle. All grounding and wiring should be done in
accordance with National, State, and Local codes. DO
NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
A single Wax Motor is used to activate both the release of
the Detergent Cup Cover and the rinse aid from the
reservoir.
To check the operation of the Wax Motor, removal from
the Dispenser Retainer or Inner Door is not necessary.
First, snap the Detergent Cup Door shut. Then, connect
a Power Test Cord across the two terminals of the Wax
Motor. Plug the Power Test Cord into a 120 VAC
receptacle. The plunger in the center of the Wax Motor
should "push out" and actuate the Dispenser in
approximately 45-60 seconds. Remove voltage to the
Wax Motor and allow the plunger to retract into the Wax
Motor. Apply voltage to the Wax Motor again and observe
for proper lifting of the rinse aid plunger.

Rinse Only.
In extremely hard water conditions (13
grains per gallon or more*), it is difficult to
achieve good results with any dishwasher.
A mechanical water softener may be nec-
essary to improve water quality, detergent
effectiveness, and protect the dishwasher
parts from the damage that hard water can
cause.
RECOMMENDED AMOUNT
Too little detergent results in poor clean-
ing, hard water filming/spotting and poor
drying. Too much detergent can cause per-
manent etching/cloudiness.

are monitored to assure sanitiza-
tion. Unusually low water temper-
ature will prevent sanitization from
being satisfied and the SANI-
TIZED light will not illuminate at
the end of the cycle.
The CLEAN and SANITIZED (select
models) indicator lights will not reillumi-
nate after a power failure until after the
next cycle is run.
The DRYING (select models) light illumi-
nates during the entire dry period and goes
out when the cycle is completed.
The SANITIZED (select models) light illu-
minates at the end of the cycle when condi-
tions have been met to achieve sanitization.
The light will remain lit until the door has
been open for 30 seconds continuously.
The WASHING (select models) light illu-
minates during all rinse and wash portions
of the cycle.

•
•
•
•
•
Press the START/Cancel pad to start the dishwasher.
Be sure door is latched securely.
Be sure the water is turned on.
Check that the pad is properly selected for a cycle.

Check inlet hose for a kink.
Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.
Dishwasher Will Not Drain/Water InTub Bottom:
•
•
•
•
•
If hooked up to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.
Check drain hose for a kink.
Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check that the cycle is completed.
Dishwasher Adds Water at END of Cycle:
This is normal. The sensor (select models) in the pump must stay submerged so a short fill of water is added after the cycle’s last drain.
Detergent Cup Is Not Empty:
•
•
•
•
Check that the cycle is completed.
Be sure dispenser is not blocked.
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.
Dishwasher Seems Noisy:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A water valve hiss during fill is normal.
Water circulation sounds are normal.
A thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks.
Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard during drain as the internal food disposer chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.
Humming during the drain is normal.
A snap noise is the detergent cup lid hitting the door liner when the dishwasher door is opened at the end of the cycle.This is normal.
Proper installation affects the noise level.
CycleTakesToo Long (Heating Delay Light Stays On):
™
™
•
•
Tough Scrub orTough Scrub Plus (select models) or Sanitize has been selected and the cycle is extended to heat water.
Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120-140° F (49-60° C).
Dishwasher has an Odor:
•
•
•
•
Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.
Many dishwashers have a “new” smell when first installed.This will dissipate with use.
Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “Dishwasher Will Not Drain” section.)
For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light Wash and allow the water to circulate for about 10 min-
utes. Interrupt the cycle by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching the door and allow it to complete
the cycle. Another alternative is to use dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner*.
Dishwasher Leaks:
•
•
Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less deter-
gent is needed in soft water.Try another brand if sudsing continues.
•
•
Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 7).
To avoid rinse aid lid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached.
DisplayTime Suddenly Drops or Increases by Several Minutes (select models):
This is normal when the Auto Clean or Normal cycle (select models) is selected and the dishwasher decides to skip or add a drain and refill.
Dishwasher Door Will Not Close:
Be sure upper rack is properly adjusted to upper or lower position (select models) (pg. 3).

Indicator Lights Flashing:
•
•
•
•
•
The countdown display (select models) flashes after a cycle is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay.
The currently selected cycle flashes if the consumer attempts to change the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
The lock indicator flashes and the countdown display (selected models) flashes an “L” if a pad is pressed while the control lock is enabled.
Glasses Are Cloudy/Spotted:
•
•
•
•
Select Extra Rinse (select models).
Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120°-140° F (49-60° C).
Always use a rinse aid.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due to hard
water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 5). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand.
If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot, from
using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently dam-
aged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure incoming water tem-
perature is not greater than 140° F (60° C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
•
Food Soil Remains on Dishes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Check water temperature (pg 5).
Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
™
™
Select Tough Scrub orTough Scrub Plus (select models).
Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 5).
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.
Select proper cycle for the soil level.
Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water inlet holes (pg. 3).
Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 2-4).
Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles down through the slots in the covers.
Do not place glasses over tines.
Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require more
energy than the rest of the load to clean.
Items Washed InThe Dishwasher OrThe DishwasherTub Itself Are Stained/Discolored:
•
•
Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items. Leave a slight space between items.
Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the dishwasher tub. A filter may be needed, check with a water
treatment company.
•
•
Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the tub (pg. 8). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For removal
of heavier stains, try Cascade Plastic Booster Plastic Cleaning Additive*. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a dishwasher deter-
gent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
Items Not Properly Dried/Moisture Is Present OnThe Dishwasher Interior AfterThe Dry Cycle:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Be sure Heated Dry is selected.
Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.
Use a rinse aid like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid*. Turn adjustable rinse aid cap to the MAX setting.
Check water temperature (pg. 5).
Select Sanitize.
Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 5).
Load properly (pg. 2-4)
Plastic and teflon items are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets.Towel drying may be necessary.
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying. Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for
improved results.
Dishware is Chipped:
•
•
•
•
Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 2-4).
Washing fine, antique china or crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.
Do not load glasses over the tines.
Do not overload.
Sanitized Indicator Does Not Illuminate at the End of the Cycle (select models):
•
•
•
Sanitize was not selected.
Sanitization can only be achieved with the Auto Clean (select models), Heavy, Normal or Light wash cycles.
Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
Recognize safety symbols, words, labels
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result
in severe personal injury or death.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care
must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
dishwasher.
CAUTION
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
minor personal injury.
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or
manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not
understand.
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with
the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
WARNING
Check with the installer to make sure the appliance
has been properly grounded to avoid possible
electrical shock. Be sure you read the Important
Personal Safety Instructions before you use this
dishwasher.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the
tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a
residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,
laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your
dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of
children.
Products with a
label have been listed with Underwriter’s
Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have been listed
with Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with
any other equipment using electricity and moving parts,
there is a potential hazard.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If
the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this process.
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be
attached before electrical power is applied to the
dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for
proper grounding procedures.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will
be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.
7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be

CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.
Dishwasher Will Not Fill:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Press the START/Cancel pad to start the dishwasher.
Be sure door is latched securely.
Be sure the water is turned on.
Check that the pad is properly selected for a cycle.
Allow time to pause before filling.
Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check inlet hose for a kink.
Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.
Dishwasher Will Not Drain/Water In Tub Bottom:
•
•
•
•
•
If hooked up to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.
Check drain hose for a kink.
Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check that the cycle is completed.
Dishwasher Adds Water at END of Cycle:
•
This is normal. The sensor (select models) in the pump must stay submerged so a short fill of water is added after the cycle’s last drain.
Detergent Cup Is Not Empty:
•
•
•
Check that the cycle is completed.
Be sure dispenser is not blocked.
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.
Dishwasher Seems Noisy:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A water valve hiss during fill is normal.
Water circulation sounds are normal.
A thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks.
Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard as the internal food disposer chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.
Humming during the drain is normal.
A snap noise is the detergent cup lid hitting the door liner when the dishwasher door is opened at the end of the cycle. This is normal.
Proper installation affects the noise level.
Cycle Takes Too Long (Heating Delay Light Stays On [select models]):
•
•
Tough Scrub™ or Tough Scrub™ Plus (select models) or Sanitize has been selected and the cycle is extended to heat water.
Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120-140° F (49-60° C).
Dishwasher has an Odor:
•
•
•
•
Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.
Many dishwashers have a “new” smell when first installed. This will dissipate with use.
Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “Dishwasher Will Not Drain” section.)
For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light Wash and allow the water to circulate for about 10
minutes. Interrupt the cycle by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching the door and allow it to
complete the cycle. Another alternative is to use a dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner*.
Dishwasher Leaks:
•
•
Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less
detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand if sudsing continues.
•
•
Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 7).
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached.
Display Time Suddenly Drops or Increases by Several Minutes (select models):
•
This is normal when the Auto Clean or Normal cycle (select models) is selected and the dishwasher decides to skip or add a drain and refill.
Indicator Lights Flashing:
•
•
•
•
•
The countdown display (select models) flashes after a cycle is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay.
The currently selected cycle flashes if the consumer attempts to change the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
The lock indicator flashes and the countdown display (selected models) flashes an “L” if a pad is pressed while the control lock is enabled.

Glasses Are Cloudy/Spotted:
•
•
•
•
Select Extra Rinse (select models).
Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° -140° F (49-60° C).
Always use a rinse aid.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due
to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 5). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a
high quality brand.
•
If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching . This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot,
from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is
permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure
incoming water temperature is not greater than 140° F (60° C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below
120° F (49° C).
Food Soil Remains on Dishes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Check water temperature (pg 5).
Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
Select Tough Scrub™ or Tough Scrub™ Plus (select models).
Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 5).
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.
Select proper cycle for the soil level.
Make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water inlet holes (pg. 3).
Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 2-4).
Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles down through the slots in the covers.
Do not place glasses over tines.
Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
Items Washed In The Dishwasher Or The Dishwasher Tub Itself Are Stained/Discolored:
•
•
Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items. Leave a slight space between items.
Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the dishwasher tub. A filter may be needed, check with a
water treatment company.
•
•
Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the tub (pg. 8). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For
removal of heavier stains, try Cascade Plastic Booster Plastic Cleaning Additive*. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a
dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
Items Not Properly Dried/Moisture Is Present On The Dishwasher Interior After The Dry Cycle:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Be sure Heated Dry is selected.
Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.
Use a rinse aid like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid* regularly, to improve drying. Turn the rinse aid selector towards the MAX setting.
Check water temperature (pg. 5).
Select Sanitize.
Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 5).
Load properly (pg. 2-4).
Plastic and teflon items are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be
necessary.
•
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying. Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for
improved results.
Dishware is Chipped :
•
•
•
•
Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 2-4).
Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.
Do not load glasses over the tines.
Do not overload.
Sanitized Light Does Not Illuminate at the End of the Cycle (select models)
:
•
•
•
Sanitize was not selected.
Sanitization can only be achieved with the Auto Clean (select models), Heavy, Normal or Light wash cycles.
Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
Dishwasher Door Will Not Close

Important Safety Instructions
Recognize safety symbols, words, labels
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Warning and Important Safety Instructions appearing in this
manual are not meant to cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. Common sense, caution, and care
must be exercised when installing, maintaining, or operating the
dishwasher.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result
in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION
Always contact your dealer, distributor, service agent, or
manufacturer about problems or conditions you do not
understand.
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which COULD result in
minor personal injury.
7. To reduce the risk of injury when loading items to be
washed, sharp or pointed items should be located with
the handles up. Also, load sharp items so they are not
likely to damage the door seal.
WARNING
Check with the installer to make sure the appliance
has been properly grounded to avoid possible
electrical shock. Be sure you read the Important
Personal Safety Instructions before you use this
dishwasher.
8. Do not touch the heating element on the bottom of the
tub during or at the completion of a cycle. It will be hot.
9. Use only detergents and rinse additives designed for a
residential automatic dishwasher. Never use soap,
laundry detergent, or hand washing detergent in your
dishwasher. Keep these products out of reach of
children.
Products with a
label have been listed with Underwriter’s
Laboratories, Inc. – those with a CSA tag have been listed
with Canadian Standards Association. Nevertheless, as with
any other equipment using electricity and moving parts,
there is a potential hazard.
10. Do not sit, stand on or abuse the door or dish racks of
the dishwasher.
11. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If
the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this process.
WARNING
When using your dishwasher, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
2. Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
12. Do not wash plastic items unless marked “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. Disconnect electrical power to dishwasher before
attempting to service.
4. To avoid electrical shock hazard, the sides and back
must be enclosed and the front panels must be
attached before electrical power is applied to the
dishwasher. Refer to the installation instructions for
proper grounding procedures.
13. Do not tamper with controls.
14. To prevent accidental child entrapment and suffocation
risks, always remove the door to the washing
compartment when removing an old dishwasher from
service or discarding it.
5. Connect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
15. Use caution when unloading the dishwasher. Dishes will
be hot if unloaded shortly after a cycle has completed.
6. Children should never be permitted to operate, or
play in, with, or around this dishwasher.
16. Certified residential dishwashers are not intended for
licensed food establishments.

the water supply off and drain the dishwasher.
To drain, press the START/Cancel pad once.
Operate the drain twice to ensure most of the
water is removed. Last, disconnect the
electrical supply and prop open the door.
The color from some tomato-based food soils
may occasionally adhere to various components
of the dishwasher interior, causing temporary
discoloration. To minimize this:
➢
➢
➢
Remove excess tomato-based food soils off
of dishes, prior to loading.
Run the Heavy Wash cycle when washing
loads containing tomato-based food soils.
When turning the water supply to the home off,
the water shut off at the dishwasher must be
turned off also.
Change dishwasher detergent and be
sure to use a dishwasher detergent that
contains chlorine to better fight staining.
For moderate to heavy soil , clean with Bon
Ami*, using a soft cloth or damp sponge. Rinse
and dry. To restore luster and to remove streaks,
follow with Stainless Steel Magic Spray*.

CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY.
Dishwasher Will Not Fill:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Press the START/Cancel pad to start the dishwasher.
Be sure door is latched securely.
Be sure the water is turned on.
Check that the pad is properly selected for a cycle.
Allow time to pause before filling.
Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check inlet hose for a kink.
Check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary.
Dishwasher Will Not Drain/Water In Tub Bottom:
•
•
•
•
•
If hooked up to a food waste disposer, be sure the knock-out is removed from the disposer inlet.
Check for food obstruction in the drain or disposer.
Check drain hose for a kink.
Check your home‘s circuit breaker or fuse box.
Check that the cycle is completed.
Dishwasher Adds Water at END of Cycle:
•
This is normal. The sensor (select models) in the pump must stay submerged so a short fill of water is added after the cycle’s last drain.
Detergent Cup Is Not Empty:
•
Check that the cycle is completed.
•
•
Be sure dispenser is not blocked.
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.
Dishwasher Seems Noisy:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A water valve hiss during fill is normal.
Water circulation sounds are normal.
A thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the racks.
Chopping or grinding sounds may be heard as the internal food disposer chops hard items like fruit seeds, nuts, etc.
Humming during the drain is normal.
A snap noise is the detergent cup lid hitting the door liner when the dishwasher door is opened at the end of the cycle. This is normal.
Proper installation affects the noise level.
Cycle Takes Too Long (Heating Delay Light Stays On [select models]):
•
•
Tough Scrub™ or Tough Scrub™ Plus (select models) or Sanitize has been selected and the cycle is extended to heat water.
Check to see that the incoming water temperature is 120-140° F (49-60° C).
Dishwasher has an Odor:
•
•
•
•
Run dishes being held in the dishwasher through a Rinse Only cycle.
Many dishwashers have a “new” smell when first installed. This will dissipate with use.
Dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See “Dishwasher Will Not Drain” section.)
For a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup. Select Light Wash and allow the water to circulate for about 10
minutes. Interrupt the cycle by unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by latching the door and allow it to
complete the cycle. Another alternative is to use a dishwasher cleaning product such as Jet-Dry Dishwasher Cleaner*.
Dishwasher Leaks:
•
•
Check that the dishwasher is level. (Refer to the Installation Instructions.)
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent carefully and use only detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less
detergent is needed in soft water. Try another brand if sudsing continues.
•
•
Follow directions closely on how to add a forgotten item (pg. 7).
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached.
Display Time Suddenly Drops or Increases by Several Minutes (select models):
•
This is normal when the Auto Clean or Normal cycle (select models) is selected and the dishwasher decides to skip or add a drain and refill.
Indicator Lights Flashing:
•
•
•
•
•
The countdown display (select models) flashes after a cycle is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
The countdown display (select models) and the delay indicator flash after a delay is selected until the START/Cancel pad is pressed.
All active display indicators flash if the door is opened during a running cycle or delay.
The currently selected cycle flashes if the consumer attempts to change the cycle after cycle “lock-in”.
The lock indicator flashes and the countdown display (selected models) flashes an “L” if a pad is pressed while the control lock is enabled.

Glasses Are Cloudy/Spotted:
•
•
•
•
Select Extra Rinse (select models).
Check water temperature. Incoming water should be 120° -140° F (49-60° C).
Always use a rinse aid.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If removed, the problem is due
to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness (pg. 5). Be sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a
high quality brand.
•
If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching . This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by water that is too hot,
from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is
permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure
incoming water temperature is not greater than 140° F (60° C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below
120° F (49° C).
Food Soil Remains on Dishes:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Check water temperature (pg 5).
Run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
Select Tough Scrub™ or Tough Scrub™ Plus (select models).
Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly (pg. 5).
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool dry place.
Select proper cycle for the soil level.
Make sure the upper and middle rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water inlet holes (pg. 4).
Load items so they do not block the wash arms (pg. 2-4).
Load the utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles down through the slots in the covers.
Do not place glasses over tines.
Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils require
more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
Items Washed In The Dishwasher Or The Dishwasher Tub Itself Are Stained/Discolored:
•
•
Aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks when they rub against other items. Leave a slight space between items.
Iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the dishwasher tub. A filter may be needed, check with a
water treatment company.
•
•
Separate silver or silver-plated silverware from stainless steel. These metals can be damaged by contact with each other during washing.
Color from tomato sauces may adhere to the tub (pg. 8). If light staining has occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. For
removal of heavier stains, try Cascade Plastic Booster Plastic Cleaning Additive*. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use a
dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
Items Not Properly Dried/Moisture Is Present On The Dishwasher Interior After The Dry Cycle:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Be sure Heated Dry is selected.
Water droplets may form on the inner door as part of the drying process.
Use a rinse aid like Jet Dry* or Cascade Rinse Aid* regularly, to improve drying. Turn the rinse aid selector towards the MAX setting.
Check water temperature (pg. 5).
Select Sanitize.
Increase detergent amount to match water hardness (pg. 5).
Load properly. (pg. 2-4)
Plastic and teflon items are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be
necessary.
•
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water and require towel drying. Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for
improved results.
Dishware is Chipped :
•
•
•
•
Load dishes according to instructions so they do not strike each other (pg. 2-4).
Washing fine antique china/crystal in the dishwasher is not recommended.
Do not load glasses over the tines.
Do not overload.
Sanitized Light Does Not Illuminate at the End of the Cycle (select models)
:
•
•
•
Sanitize was not selected.
Sanitization can only be achieved with the Auto Clean (select models), Heavy, Normal or Light wash cycles.
Sanitization may not be achieved if there is an interruption of the cycle, power failure or if incoming water temperature is below 120° F (49° C).
Dishwasher Door Will Not Close
:
10
•
Be sure adjustable racks (select models) are properly adjusted to upper or lower position (pg. 4).
