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.
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 you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water
and power supply to the dishwasher.
Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice
formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and damage your
dishwasher or home. Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.
When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your
dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

RECOMMENDED SOLUTION
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.
If the Start/Resume light is blinking, close the door and push START/RESUME.
Be sure the door is closed and latched.
Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system at the back of
the dishwasher. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.
Be sure you have selected a cycle. (See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" section.)
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. Replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few
minutes. If it does not restart, call for service.
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service.
Check that the water shutoff valve, if installed, is turned on.
Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be
blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.
Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to
resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing START/RESUME.
NOTES:
To use less water and reduce energy consumption you will encounter cycles that typically run for
up to 3 hours.
A water heater setting of 120°F (49ºC) is best, the dishwasher will delay longer while heating
cooler water.
Some options will add time to the cycle. (See "Cycle and Option Descriptions" section.) The
