Dishwasher Care  
Cleaning the Dishwasher  
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and  
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a  
stainless steel cleaner is recommended - Stainless Steel Cleaner  
and Polish Part Number 31462.  
If you have a drain air gap,  
check and clean it if the  
dishwasher isn't draining  
well.  
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered  
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent  
on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.  
Storing the Dishwasher  
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is  
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.  
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months,  
turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the  
winter, if the dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing  
temperatures or is left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second  
home or vacation home, avoid water damage by having your  
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.  
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe  
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a  
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry  
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.  
Troubleshooting  
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.  
PROBLEM  
DISHWASHER DOES  
NOT RUN  
SOLUTION  
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.  
If the START/RESUME light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door firmly within  
3 seconds. For fully integrated models (controls on top of console).  
Be sure the door is closed and latched.  
Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Descriptions.”)  
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.  
If lights other than START/RESUME blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.

Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.  
Be sure the cycle has completed (green light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to resume  
the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.  
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG  
NOTES:  
I
I
I
To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run  
for up to 3 hours.  
A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best. The dishwasher will delay longer while heating  
cooler water.  
Some options will add time to the cycle. (See “Cycles and Options Descriptions” section.) The  
Heated Dry option adds ½ hour.  
Try the Insta Wash cycle.  
Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.  
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING  
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous  
surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.  
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.  
Use of the High Temp Wash option will improve drying results.  
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.)  
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when  
unloading.  
I
Unload the bottom rack first.  
I
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.  
WILL NOT FILL  
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.  
Check that the float is free from obstructions.  
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher  
may not operate properly or may not fill with water.

to resume the cycle by pressing START/RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.  
If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed  
from the disposer inlet.  
Check for kinks in the drain hose.  
Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer.  
Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.  
HARD WATER  
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make it  
difficult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is  
15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:  
(WHITE RESIDUE ON  
DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR  
GLASSWARE)  
Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month.  
Always use a rinse aid.  
Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent.  
Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.  
ODORS  
NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load daily until a  
full load is ready to run.  
Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an  
upright glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option  
turned off. Do not use detergent.  
The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see “WATER REMAINS IN THE TUB/WILL NOT  
DRAIN” in “Troubleshooting.”  
NOISY  
NOTES:  
I
I
I
Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining.  
Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically.  
A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and  
when the door is opened at the end of the cycle.  
I
Improper installation will affect noise levels.  
Be sure the filters are properly installed.  
A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.  
Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.  
FOOD SOILS REMAIN  
ON DISHES  
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing  
performance (see “Prepare and Load the Dishwasher”).  
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the Hi Temp  
option can be used for tougher loads.  
Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49ºC).  
Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier-soiled loads and  
hard water conditions.  
Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).  
DID NOT SANITIZE  
DAMAGE TO DISHWARE  
BLINKING LIGHTS  
If the sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final  
rinse, or your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49ºC).  
Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading  
instructions within this guide.)  
If the START/RESUME light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 3 seconds.  
If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for service.

PROBLEM  
SOLUTION  
NOTES:  
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED  
DISHWARE (AND HARD  
WATER SOLUTION)  
I
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.  
Use the correct amount of detergent.  
I
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes. If the  
cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and rinse aid. See  
(“HARD WATER [WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE]”) in  
“Troubleshooting.” If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).  
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49ºC).  
Try using the Hi Temp and Sani Rinse options.  
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.  
I
Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware and  
metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the lower rack.  
Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is needed.  
ETCHING (PERMANENT  
CLOUDINESS)  
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of: water  
that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing. Detergent needs  
food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To avoid  
further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the water hardness, stop pre-washing, and  
use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49ºC).  
LEAKING WATER  
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.  
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only  
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try another  
brand of detergent if sudsing continues.  
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid  
overfilling.  
TUB IS DISCOLORED  
NOTES:  
I
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.  
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.  
I
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
