What To Do
Each pad must be touched within 30 seconds of the
others. To relight, touch any pad again or unlatch and
relatch the door.
A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the
tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal
lubricated.
If you have an air gap, clean it. See the Care and
Cleaning section.
If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer
clear.
Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not,
you may need a plumber.
Warm, moist air comes through the vent during drying
and when water is being pumped out. This is necessary
for drying.
Do not interrupt the cycle by opening the door during the
wash cycle.
Raise the water heater temperature to between 120°F
and 150°F.
These are all normal. No action is required.
Make sure everything is secured in dishwasher.
Make sure dishes are properly loaded. See the Loading
section.
Tall utensils may be placed in the upper rack to avoid
bumping against inner door during wash cycle.
Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis. If you
do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump
out once every week. This will help keep the seal moist.
