Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain air gap between a
built-in dishwasher and the home drain system. Check the drain air gap when your
dishwasher is not draining well.
The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or countertop near the
dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, please call 1-800-4-MY-HOME
Number 300096.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not part of your
dishwasher. The warranty provided with your dishwasher does not cover service costs
directly associated with the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.
Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of your dishwasher.
With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check
for any soil buildup. Clean if necessary.
If your dishwasher is not in use during the summer months, turn off the water supply
and power supply to the dishwasher.
Avoid possible water damage to your home and dishwasher due to freezing water
lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal dwelling or could be exposed to near
freezing temperatures, have your dishwasher winterized by authorized service
personnel.
