SOLUTION
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, push 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, check
the following:
Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to
■
release.
■ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. (This is very important
following the new installation of your dishwasher.)
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher
■
sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.
Suds can come from:
■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing
dishes, laundry detergent, or hand soap.
Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
■
Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.
■
Call for service.
NOTES:
Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
■
Use the correct amount of detergent.
■
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.
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.
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).
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.
NOTES:
■ High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
■
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
