SOLUTION
NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make
it difficult to achieve good cleaning. You may bring water samples to Sears to check your water
hardness level. 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:
Use a cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. See the "Dishwasher Maintenance
Procedure" section.
Clean the ULTRACLEAN™ filters at least 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.
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, or use the Top Rack Only option (on some models) for partial
loads.
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."
NOTES:
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.
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.
Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing
performance (see "Loading for Best Performance").
Check filter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. (See "Cleaning Instructions" in
"ULTRACLEAN™ Filtration System" for details.)
Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Pots Pans cycle with the T
(on some models) 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).
If the Sani Rinse indicator light is blinking, the load is
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 Start/Resume or any status lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, close the door
and push START/RESUME. If the dishwasher still will not run, call service at 1-800-4-MY-HOME
