Check Operation

❏
Read the Dishwasher User Instructions that came
with your dishwasher.
❏
Check that all parts have been installed and no steps
were skipped. Check that you have all tools used.
❏
Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest
wash cycle. After the first 2 minutes unlatch door,
wait 5 seconds, then open door. Check to see that
there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub.
Check that dishwasher is working properly.
If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect
power or unplug dishwasher and see "If Dishwasher
Does Not Operate" section.

If Dishwasher Does Not Operate

First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid
the cost of a service call.
• Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse
blown?
• Is the door closed tightly and latched?
• Has the cycle been set correctly to start the
dishwasher?
• Is the water turned on?
If none of these possible solutions work, call
1-800-422-1230, or in Canada, call 1-800-807-6777.

Additional Tips

Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will
average 2-3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less
energy than older models. Designed with a low wattage,
low energy consumption motor, your dishwasher
washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain
models are equipped with an optical water sensor so the
first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical sensor.
Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past
3.5 hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results:
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for
good drying performance and controlling hard water
deposit buildup. Energy efficient dishwashers use less
water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting
action of rinse aid for good drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash:
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the
door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the
door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash
until you press it again. (You must also do this when
adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.)
