Use baking soda in both detergent cups and run through a
Light Wash cycle. Interrupt 10 minutes into wash cycle and
allow water to stand overnight. Restart the dishwasher by
latching the door and allow cycle to complete. You can also try a
citric acid containing dishwasher cleaning product such as
Glisten (part no R0131566) or a commercially available
dishwasher cleaning product.
Check water temperature. Water temperature needs to be at
least 120°F (49°C).
Run hot water at sink before starting dishwasher.
Select High Temp Wash if available.
Check water hardness and adjust detergent amount accordingly.
Use fresh detergent stored in a cool, dry place.
Select proper cycle for the soil level.
Load items so they do not block the wash arms or center tower.
Load the utensil basket with some handles up and some down
to prevent nesting.
Do not place glasses over tines.
Prior to loading, scrape off burnt on foods and wipe the starchy
film from utensils used with pasta, rice and oatmeal. These soils
require more energy than the rest of the load to clean.
Use a rinse aid.
Verify incoming water temperature is 120–140°F (49–60°C).
