SOLUTION
If the Sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the final rinse
or the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49°C).
Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading
instructions within this guide.)
Blinking indicators will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by
opening the door. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door
within 4 seconds.
See "Start or Resume a Cycle" in the "Dishwasher Use" section.
If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for service.
Add or adjust the amount of liquid rinse aid for better drying and to reduce spotting. See the
"Detergent and Rinse Aid" section.
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 the "Troubleshooting" section.
If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the Hi Temp Wash 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 Heat 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 (49°C).
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.
High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware. Large amounts of tomato-based foods should
be removed from the dishes before loading.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
