PROBLEM SOLUTION
DAMAGE T ODISHWARE
Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See specific loading
instructions within this guide.)
BLINKING LIGHTS If Start/Resume or any status lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, close the
door and push START/RESUME. If the dishwasher still will not run, call service.
CLOUDY OR SPOTTED NOTES:
DISHWARE (AND HARD
WATER SOLUTION)
• Liquid rinse aid is necessary for drying and to reduce spotting.
• Use the correct amount of detergent.
Confirm that the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for 5 minutes.
If the cloudiness disappears, it is due to hard water. Adjust the amount of detergent and
rinse aid. (See "HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR
GLASSWARE" in "Troubleshooting.") If it does not come clear, it is clue to etching (see
below).
Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C).
Try using the Hi Temp and Sani Rinse options.
To remove spotting, run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher.
• Wash and rinse the affected dishware and load into dishwasher. Remove all silverware
and metal items. Put 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in a glass measuring cup in the
lower rack. Run a normal cycle with the Heated Dry option turned off. No detergent is
needed.
ETCHING (PERMANENT
CLOUDINESS)
This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused by a combination of:
water that is too hot, from using too much detergent with soft water or by pre-washing.
Detergent needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is
permanently damaged. To avoid further etching, adjust the detergent amount to match the
water hardness, stop pre-washing, and use water heating options only when incoming
water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
LEAKING WATER
Be sure dishwasher has been installed properly and is level.
Suds can cause the dishwasher to overflow. Measure the detergent accurately and use only
detergents designed for use in a dishwasher. Less detergent is needed in soft water. Try
another brand of detergent if sudsing continues.
To avoid rinse aid leaking from the dispenser, be sure the lid is securely attached and avoid
overfilling.
TUB IS DISCOLORED
NOTES:
• High iron content in the water can discolor the tub.
• Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware.
A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
