CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING
NOTES"
•
To use less water
and reduce
energy
consumption
you will encounter
cycles
that typically
run
for up to 3 hours.
To wash
dishes with
less water
the dishwasher
must run longer.
The
dishwasher
uses less energy
to run than
your
water
heater
does to heat the water
that the
dishwasher
is using.
•
A water
heater
setting
of 120°F (49°C)
is best. The dishwasher
will delay
longer
while
heating
cooler
water.
•
Some options
will add time to the cycle.
(See "Cycles
and Options
Information"
section.)
Try the 1 Hour Wash
cycle.
The 1 Hour Wash
uses more energy
and water
to clean
the dishes
in
less time.
Run the hot water
at a faucet
close to the dishwasher
before
selecting
and starting
the cycle.
WILL NOT FILL
NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult
to dry because they tend to collect
water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary.
Use of rinse aid along with the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.
Proper loading of items can affect
drying. (See the "Loading"
section.)
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items.
•
Unload the bottom rack first.
•
Locate
these items on the more slanted
side of the rack
for improved
results.
Be sure the water
is turned on to the dishwasher.
Check that the float
is free
from obstructions.
(See "Parts
and Features.")
Check for suds in the dishwasher.
If foam
or suds are detected,
the dishwasher
may not operate
properly
or may
not fill with
water.
