BLOCKED WASHARM

BLOCKED DRAIN

An obstructionispreventingthe lowerwasharm fromturning. This is usuallycaused by a utensil stickingthroughthebottom ofthe silverwarebasketor a pot handle throughthe lowerrack.

The dishwasheris taking longer than normal to drain the water

out.Thisisusuallycausedbya blockageinthedrainairgap(see

page21),a kinkinthedrainhose or a stopped-updrainpipe.

1. Unlatchdoor.

2. Checkthe lowerrack for any itemthat couldblock the washarm and repositionit.

3. Relatchdoor.

NOTE: If the washarm is not blocked and “BLOCKED WASH ARM” displaystillappears, youmaystartwashcycleby

HowtoLoadyourdishwasher

Zhisisa randomnnkd load, the most common typeyou will have.

Makesure dishesare Properly loaded to insure that

watercan reach [hes;lle~ su;faces. The washarm in the bottomsprayswater up. Thetowerthat rises in the center sends water out overthe dishes to wash the items inthe upper rack. On somemodels, a sprayarm in the

topwashes downalso. Makesure to place tall items to theoutsideso the upper washarm is not blocked.

HowtoloadtheTOPMCK

WATCHOUTFOR THIS.

The washer towerrises throughthe centerofthe bottom rack during the wash and rinse portionsof the cycle. Don’tblock it or load tallthingsnext to it. Also,be carefulnot to let a portion of an item suchas a pot or dishhandleextendthrough the bottomrack. This could blockthe washarm and cause poor washingresults.
