call a dishwasher repair technician.
Dishwasher Won't Fill
-
be sure door is latched
-
make sure water is turned on
-
check your home's circuit breaker
-
check inlet hose for kink
-
check water valve inlet for sediment and clean if necessary
Dishwasher Won't Drain / Water In Tub
Bottom
Detergent Cup Is Not Empty
Dishwasher Is Noisy
-
thumping sound may be a wash arm bumping an item that is extending beyond the
racks, readjust load
-
chopping or grinding sounds may be heard as the internal food dispenser chops
hard items
-
water valve hisses, water circulation sounds and humming during drain cycle are
all normal sounds
Cycle Takes Too Long
Dishwasher Odor
-
run dishes being held for cleaning in the dishwasher through a rinse only
cycle
-
dishwasher may not be draining properly
-
for a strong odor, place baking soda in both sides of the detergent cup, select
Light Wash cycle and allow the water to circulate for about 10 minutes, interrupt the cycle by
unlatching the door and let it stand overnight. In the morning, restart the dishwasher by latching the
door and letting it complete the cycle.
Dishwasher Leaks
Glasses Cloudy / Spotty
-
select Extra Rinse
-
check water temperature, incoming water should be 120O F
-
always use a rinse aid
-
confirm that cloudiness can be removed by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5
minutes. If this removes the cloudiness, you have hard water.
-
if cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and
can be caused by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent or by pre washing. Detergent
needs food soil to act upon. If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent
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 120O F.
Food Soil Remains On Dishes
-
check water temperature
-
run hot water in the sink before running dishwasher
-
select High Temp option
-
check water hardness and adjust detergent
-
select proper cycle for soil level
-
make sure the upper rack wash arm connector is correctly aligned in one of the water inlet holes
-
load items so they do not block washer arms
-
load utensil basket with knife handles up and spoon and fork handles down
-
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.
Items Washed Are Stained /
Dishwasher Itself Is Stained
-
aluminum utensils or pans can leave marks if they rub against other items
-
iron deposits in the water can leave a yellow, brown or orange film on dishes or the dishwasher tub. A
rust filter may be needed, check with a water treatment company.
-
color from tomato sauces may adhere to the interior parts of the dishwasher. If light staining has
occurred, leave the door open to oxidize the stain away. Change dishwasher detergent and be sure to use
a dishwasher detergent that contains chlorine to better fight staining.
