Dishwasher Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.”

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

DANGER

WARNING

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

W10836808B

can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.

■

Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.

■

Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in

■

a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of children. When loading items to be washed:

■

1) Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal; and

2) Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

■ Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked

“dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.

■ Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after

use. Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels

■

are properly in place.

■ Do not tamper with controls.

Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door, lid, or dish racks

■

of the dishwasher. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in

■

or on the dishwasher.

■ Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in

a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.

■ Remove the door or lid to the washing compartment

when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

■

For a grounded, cord-connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. The dishwasher is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING:

Improper connection of the equipment-

grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the dishwasher is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the dishwasher; if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

■

For a permanently connected dishwasher:

The dishwasher must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the dishwasher.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Do not use dishwasher until completely installed.

Do not push down on open door.

Doing so can result in serious injury or cuts.

What’s New in Your Dishwasher

Energy

Congratulations on purchasing your water and energy efﬁcient dishwasher! This dishwasher cleans by spraying the dishes with water and pauses to allow the detergent to soak into and release the soils on the dishes. The cycles are longer due to the soak and pauses for exceptional cleaning. Your dishwasher contains an optical water sensor. The optical water sensor is used to determine the optimum water and energy consumption for great cleaning performance. Efﬁcient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves on gas. The ﬁrst cycle using the sensor will run longer to calibrate the optical sensor.

Performance

Rinse Aid

Using rinse aid will optimize your drying and wash performance. This dishwasher is speciﬁcally designed to be used with rinse aid for improved drying performance and controlling buildup of hard water deposits. Energy efﬁcient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water “sheeting” action of rinse aid for total optimal performance.

SLIDE

Detergent

The United States and Canada have passed regulations limiting the amount of phosphorus (phosphates) in the household dishwasher detergents to no more than 0.5%, where previous detergents contained 8.7%. Major manufacturers have reformulated their dishwasher detergent for this change in detergents as another step in eco-conscious awareness. With these changes, we recommend quality tablets and packs for convenience and improved performance.

Filtration System

Your dishwasher has the latest technology in dishwasher ﬁltration. This triple ﬁltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing optimal cleaning performance. Maintenance of your ﬁlters regularly will sustain peak cleaning performance. We suggest you clean both your upper and lower ﬁlters and rinse under running water at least once a month.

Dishwasher Use – Basic Operation

STEP 1

Prepare and Load the Dishwasher

IMPORTANT: Remove leftover food, bones, toothpicks, and

other hard items from the dishes. Remove labels from containers before washing.

Unload dishwasher and

clean the ﬁlter.

See “Recommended Time Interval to Clean Your Filter” in the “Filtration System” section for the recommended cleaning schedule.

■ To avoid thumping/clattering noises during operation,

load dishes so they do not touch one another. Make sure lightweight load items are secured in the racks.

■ When loading silverware, always place sharp items pointing

down. Mix items in each section of the basket with some pointing up and some down to avoid nesting. Spray cannot reach nested items.

■ Use slots in the covers and suggested loading patterns to

keep your silverware separated for optimum wash.

Upper rack Lower rack

■ Check that nothing blocks the upper or lower spray arm.

Items in rack can block the spray arms.

■ Check that when the dishwasher door is closed, no items

are blocking the detergent dispenser.

■ Tough soiled items should be loaded with soiled surfaces

facing down and inward to the spray. This will improve cleaning and drying results.

■ Avoid overlapping items like bowls or plates that may

trap food.

■ Place plastics, small plates, and glasses in the upper rack.

Wash only plastic items marked “dishwasher safe.”

PUSH

STEP 2

Add Detergent

Premeasured Detergents

High quality premeasured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance.

Quality tablets and packs have been proven better than powder, liquid, or gel detergents at reducing ﬁlming on dishes. Using tablets and packs over time will start to reduce or eliminate white ﬁlm. They are suitable for all hardness and soil levels. Also, by using a rinse aid, you can minimize repeat buildup of white ﬁlm (not all packs and tablets contain rinse aid). Always place premeasured detergents in main compartment and slide lid closed.

NOTE: Follow instructions on the package when using other dishwasher detergent types.

SLIDE

■ Use automatic dishwasher detergent only. Add detergent

just before starting a cycle.

■ Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent results in better

cleaning. Store tightly closed detergent container in a cool dry place.

is full. Do not overﬁll.

3. Clean up any spilled rinse aid.

Spilled rinse aid can create excessive suds.

4. Then, close the dispenser by pushing down

gently on the lid.

Rinse Aid Setting

Your rinse aid dispenser is adjustable. For most water conditions, the factory setting will give good results. If you have hard water and notice calcium buildup on your dishware, you may want to try a higher setting. If you notice foam in your dishwasher, use a lower setting.

To adjust the setting:

Turn the arrow adjuster to a higher number to increase the amount of rinse aid.

STEP 4

Select a Cycle

Efﬁcient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a car slower saves gas. Cycle times may increase or decrease depending on selections. Estimated cycle times after calibration are listed in the “Cycle and Option Descriptions” chart in the following section. Select the desired cycle by pressing the Cycles button. Each time you press the Cycles button, it will advance to the next available cycle.

Select Options

See the “Cycle and Option Descriptions” chart in the following section.

You can customize the cycles by pressing the options desired and pressing Start/Resume.

SLIDE

IMPORTANT: Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid. The use of rinse aids greatly improves drying by allowing water to drain from the dishes after the ﬁnal rinse. Rinse aid also keeps water from forming droplets that can dry as spots or streaks.

STEP 5

Start or Resume a Cycle

■ If needed, run hot water at the sink nearest your dishwasher

until the water is hot. Turn off water.

■ For best dishwashing results, water should be 120ºF (49ºC)

as it enters the dishwasher.

■ Select the wash cycle and options desired.

To repeat the same cycle and options used previously, press START/RESUME twice. Within 4 seconds of pressing Start/Resume you must ﬁrmly push the door closed. If the door is not closed within 4 seconds, the Start button LED will ﬂash, an audible tone will be heard, and the cycle will not start.

■ You can add an item at the beginning of the cycle. Open the

door slowly and add the item. Press START/RESUME and close the door ﬁrmly within 4 seconds. If the door has been open more than 4 seconds the LED will ﬂash, a tone will sound and the dishwasher will not resume unless you press Start/Resume again.

IMPORTANT: If the door has been opened after starting a cycle (even during the Delay Hours option), Start/Resume must be pressed again.

Dishwasher Use – Smart Operation

NOTE: You must have successfully completed the “Connectivity Setup” section for the following features to function. Verify that the

Wireless Status icon (A) and either the Amber House icon (C) or Blue House icon (D) are illuminated. Check the Whirlpool® app for additional dishwasher features, including Remote Enable (B).

Download a Specialty Cycle or My Cycle

The Download & Go™ feature lets you select a Specialty Cycle or you can design a My Cycle on the Whirlpool® app and send it to your dishwasher. When the dishwasher receives the cycle, the Download & Go LED lights up for several minutes to indicate the cycle has been received. When you want to use this cycle touch DOWNLOAD & GO to select the cycle, just as you would do for any other cycle. Press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds to start the cycle.

HELPFUL TIP: The cycle will be remembered for future use until a different cycle is downloaded to the dishwasher.

NOTE: If the Download & Go button is touched without a cycle ready for selection, the LED will blink and you will hear an “invalid key press” sound (if key activation sounds are turned on). When a remote start command is received from the app, the dishwasher will start the cycle. The Remote Enable icon (B) will remain lit.

Smart Delay

(Opt-in through Whirlpool® app and when supported by your local utility)

During times of peak electrical rates (if you have opted in) you may see the Smart Delay icon. When this occurs your dishwasher will delay according to your opt-in choices to help alleviate peak power demands on the local utility. The dishwasher will start up automatically when the peak power demand has decreased. You may override the smart delay through the app.

Set a Remote Enable

Remote Enable mode allows you to start your dishwasher remotely from the Whirlpool® app.

After preparing your dishwasher and selecting your cycle settings, touch and hold the DOWNLOAD & GO button for 3 seconds. The Remote Enable icon (B) will be solidly lit.

When a remote start command is received from the app, the dishwasher will start the cycle. The Remote Enable icon will remain lit.

HELPFUL TIP: Make sure that your dishwasher door remains closed and the cycle is not changed until you start the cycle. Opening the door after a Remote Enable has been set will cancel the Remote Enable. If the dishwasher needs to be paused to add dishes, the Remote Enable will need to be reinitiated.

NOTE: If no Wi-Fi connection is available, the Remote Enable will not be set and Wireless icon (A) will blink for 2 seconds, then go out.

Cycle and Option Descriptions

Estimated cycle times may increase or decrease depending on water temperature, soil conditions, dish load size, and options selected. You can customize your cycle by selecting an option.

See option selections. If you change your mind, press the option again to turn off the option, or select a different option. You can change an option anytime before the selected option begins. At each stage of the wash cycle, you may hear noises that you are not used to hearing in your previous dishwasher. Each cycle will provide a series of pauses and water sprays throughout the wash cycle. This is normal and will provide optimal cleaning performance.

CYCLE SELECTIONS

IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time and/or water usage can vary as the sensor adjusts

the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.

This cycle is recommended for daily, regular or typical use to completely wash and dry a full load of normally soiled dishes. This dishwasher’s government energy certiﬁcations were based on the Normal cycle with only the Heated Dry option selected.**

For fast results, 1-Hour Wash will clean dishes using slightly more water and energy. Select the Heat Dry option to provide best dry performance.

This cycle quietly soaks dishes with an extended prewash, which eliminates the need to presoak dishes, saving personal time and effort. For optimal cleaning results during the Soak & Clean cycle, add prewash detergent. Use this cycle for loads with heavy amounts of dried on or hard to clean baked-on food.

This is a specialty cycle that you select from the Whirlpool® app and download to your dishwasher. Your dishwasher remembers this cycle until you replace it by downloading another cycle from the Whirlpool® app.

* The government energy certiﬁcations are not based on this cycle. See the Normal cycle description for the government energy

certiﬁcation cycle. Using the Sensor cycle may increase your energy usage.

Raises main wash temperature to improve cleaning for loads containing tough, baked-on food.

Sanitizes dishes and glassware in accordance with NSF International NSF/ANSI Standard 184 for Residential Dishwashers. Certiﬁed residential dishwashers are not intended for licensed food establishments. Only sanitizing cycles have been designed to meet the requirements of the NSF/ ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efﬁcacy. There is no intention, either directly or indirectly, that all cycles on a NSF/ ANSI 184 certiﬁed dishwasher meet the NSF/ANSI 184 performance standard for soil removal and for sanitization efﬁcacy.

At end of the cycle, the “Sanitized” indicator will glow. If your load did not properly sanitize, the indicator will ﬂash at the end of the cycle. This can happen if the cycle is interrupted, or if the water does not reach the required temperature. The light goes off when you open and close the door or press CANCEL.

Dries dishes with heat. This option, with the use of rinse aid, will provide the best drying performance. Plastic items are less likely to deform when loaded in the top rack. Use Heat Dry for optimum dry performance. Turn the Heat Dry option off for air dry.

Filtration System

Your dishwasher has latest technology in dishwasher ﬁltration. This ﬁltration system minimizes sound and optimizes water and energy conservation while providing superior cleaning.

The ﬁlter system consists of 2 parts an upper ﬁlter assembly and a lower ﬁlter. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher

without ﬁlters properly installed. Be sure lower ﬁlter is securely in place and upper ﬁlter assembly is locked into place. If upper assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

The ﬁlters may need to be cleaned when:

■ Visible objects or soils are on the upper ﬁlter assembly.

■ Dishes feel gritty to the touch.

It is very easy to remove and maintain the ﬁlters. The chart below shows the recommended cleaning frequency.

RECOMMENDED TIME INTERVAL TO CLEAN YOUR FILTER*

Number of Loads Per Week If you only scrape

before loading

8–12 Every 2 months Every 4 months Once per year 4–7 Every 4 months Once per year Once per year 1–3 Twice per year Once per year Once per year

*We recommend this practice because it will conserve the water and energy that you would have used to prepare your dishes. This will also save you time and effort.

If you scrape and rinse before loading

Upper ﬁlter assembly

Lower ﬁlter

If you wash before loading

Very Hard Water

If you have hard water (above 15 grains), clean your ﬁlter at least once per month. Buildup of white residue on your dishwasher indicates hard water. For tips on removing spots and stains, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Filter Removal Instructions

1. Turn the upper ﬁlter assembly ¼ turn counterclockwise

and lift out.

Locating tab

To remove upper ﬁlter assembly

2. Separate the upper ﬁlter assembly by gently pulling apart.

3. Clean the ﬁlters as shown.

Cleaning Instructions IMPORTANT: Do not use wire brush, scouring pad, etc., as they

may damage the ﬁlters. Rinse ﬁlter under running water until most soils are removed.

If you have hard-to-remove soils or calcium deposits from hard water, a soft brush may be required.

Filter Reinstallation Instructions

1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower ﬁlter under

the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher, so the round opening for the upper ﬁlter assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub.

2. Insert the upper ﬁlter assembly into the circular opening

in the lower ﬁlter.

Dishwasher Care

3. Slowly rotate the ﬁlter clockwise until it drops into place.

Continue to rotate until the ﬁlter is locked into place. If the ﬁlter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the ﬁlter clockwise until it drops and locks into place.

NOTE: The upper ﬁlter assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in the lower ﬁlter as long as the ﬁlter is locked.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the ﬁlters properly installed. Be sure the lower ﬁlter is securely in place and the upper ﬁlter assembly is locked into place. If the upper ﬁlter assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

Cleaning the Exterior

Clean the exterior of dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a stainless steel cleaner, such as affresh®† Stainless Steel Cleaner is recommended. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products on the exterior of the dishwasher.

Cleaning and Maintaining the Interior

Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time, this residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher.

To Use:

1. If cleaning without dishes, place one tablet in the detergent

dispenser. Do not add detergent. (If signiﬁcant buildup is noticeable, a second tablet can be placed in the bottom of the dishwasher.)

2. If cleaning with dishes, place one tablet in the bottom of the

dishwasher. Place detergent in the dispenser.

3. Run a Normal wash cycle. Another method to remove white residue is to use a vinegar rinse.

However, vinegar is an acid and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.

Place (do not pour) 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.

NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care.

Dishwasher Maintenance Procedure

Removal of Hard Water/Filming

Use of a monthly maintenance product such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended. affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner tablets are designed speciﬁcally for the dishwasher and will help maintain the appliance.

■ Place affresh

Dishwasher Cleaner tablet in main wash

compartment of detergent dispenser.

■ Select a Normal cycle and start the dishwasher.

NOTE: Whirlpool recommends the use of high quality premeasured detergent tablets or packs, and the use of rinse aid for regular daily use.

f you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn’t draining well.

To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended Time Without Use

■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the

summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher.

■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against

freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home.

■ Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty.

■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water

damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

PROBLEM SOLUTION DISHWASHER DOES

NOT RUN

NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.

If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds. Be sure the door is closed and latched.

■ Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system

at the back of the dishwasher.

■ Check to see if any items are protruding through the bottom or back of the rack. Also check to

see if tall items are hitting the upper rack or spray arm. Adjust loading as necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.

Press START/RESUME or CANCEL or open and close the door before selecting your cycle/option. Controls must be awakened after a period of inactivity.

Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. If the control lock indicator is lit, press and hold SANI RINSE for 3 seconds. The Control Lock LED will turn off and you can then operate the controls.

Be sure you have selected a cycle. See “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section. Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped. If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, you will need to call for service. If the numeric display shows a code “F2E2” you will need to call for service.

DETERGENT REMAINS IN THE DISPENSER OR TABLET IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB

Check for dishware such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from opening properly.

Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free. Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean light is on). If it has not completed, you will need to

resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start/Resume.

CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG NOTES:

■ To use less water and reduce energy consumption, you will encounter cycles that typically run

for up to 3 hours.

■ A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best the dishwasher will delay longer while heating

cooler water.

■ Some options will add time to the cycle. See the “Cycle and Option Descriptions” section.

The Heat Dry option adds approximately 45 minutes. Try the 1-Hour Wash cycle. Run the hot water at a faucet close to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.

DISHWASHER NOT DRYING

NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difﬁcult to dry because they have a porous

surface, which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with the Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See speciﬁc loading instructions within this guide.) Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items

when unloading.

■ Unload the bottom rack ﬁrst.

■ Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.

WILL NOT FILL

Be sure the water to the dishwasher is turned on. Check that the overﬁll protection ﬂoat is free from obstructions. See the “Parts and Features” section. Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher may not operate

properly or may not ﬁll with water. See “Blinking Lights” in the “Troubleshooting” section.

PROBLEM SOLUTION WATER REMAINS IN THE

TUB/WILL NOT DRAIN

Be sure the cycle has completed (the Clean indicator is on). If it has not, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing Start/Resume and closing the door within 4 seconds.

If dishwasher is connected to a food waste disposer, be sure the knockout plug has been removed from the disposer inlet.

Check for kinks in the drain hose. Check for food obstructions in the drain or disposer. Check your house fuse or circuit breaker.

HARD WATER (WHITE RESIDUE ON

DISHWASHER INTERIOR OR GLASSWARE)

NOTE: Extremely hard water mineral deposits can cause damage to your dishwasher and make

it difﬁcult to achieve good cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended if your hardness is 15 grains or more. If a water softener is not installed, the following steps may help:

Use a commercial cleaner designed for dishwashers once per month. Clean the upper and lower ﬁlters at least once per month. See “Cleaning Instructions” in the

“Filtration System” section. Always use a rinse aid. Always use a high-quality, fresh detergent. Use a detergent booster/water softener additive designed for dishwashers.

ODORS

NOTE: If the dishwasher is not used daily, you can run a rinse cycle with the partial load until a full

load is ready to run. Run a vinegar rinse through the dishwasher by putting 2 cups (500 mL) of white vinegar in an upright

glass measuring cup in the lower rack. Run a Normal cycle with the Heat Dry option turned off. Do not use detergent.

The dishwasher may not be draining properly, see “Water Remains In The Tub/Will Not Drain” in the “Troubleshooting” section.

NOISY

Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining. Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically. A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle and when

the door is opened at the end of the cycle. Improper installation will affect noise levels. Be sure the ﬁlters are properly installed. A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms.

Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle.

FOOD SOILS REMAIN ON DISHES

Be sure the dishwasher is loaded correctly. Improper loading can greatly decrease the washing performance. See the “Dishwasher Use” section.

Check ﬁlter to ensure it is properly installed. Clean it if needed. See “Cleaning Instructions” in the “Filtration System” section for details.

Select the proper cycle and option for the type of soils. The Target Clean™ cycle with the Hi Temp Wash option can be used for tougher loads.

Be sure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C). Use the proper amount of fresh detergent. More detergent is needed for heavier soiled loads and

hard water conditions. Scrape food from dishes prior to loading (do not prerinse).

DISHES DIRTY/SUDS IN DISHWASHER/CYCLE NOT COMPLETE

If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not ﬁll with water.

Suds can come from:

■ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as dish detergent for hand washing dishes,

laundry detergent, or hand soap.

■ Not replacing the rinse aid dispenser cap after ﬁlling (or reﬁlling) the rinse aid.

■ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.

■ Inadequate rinsing off detergent from dishes washed by hand before loading them into

the dishwasher. Call for service. If no water was present in the machine at any time during a heated wash cycle, the cycle will end and

the Clean indicator will not come on. See “Will Not Fill” in the “Troubleshooting” section.

PROBLEM SOLUTION DID NOT SANITIZE

If the Sanitized light is blinking, the load is NOT sanitized. The cycle was interrupted in the ﬁnal rinse or the temperature for your water heater is set too low. Set your water heater to 120ºF (49°C).

DAMAGE TO DISHWARE

Improper loading can cause dishes to become chipped or damaged. (See speciﬁc loading instructions within this guide.)

BLINKING LIGHTS

Blinking indicators will occur when the cycle is paused or when the cycle has been interrupted by opening the door. If the Start/Resume light is blinking, press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds.

See “Start or Resume a Cycle” in the “Dishwasher Use” section. If the Clean light or any other lights are blinking and the dishwasher will not run, call for service.

CLOUDY OR SPOTTED DISHWARE (AND HARD WATER SOLUTION)

Add or adjust the amount of liquid rinse aid for better drying and to reduce spotting. See the “Detergent and Rinse Aid” section.

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 the “Troubleshooting” section. If it does not come clear, it is due to etching (see below).

Be sure the incoming water temperature is set at 120°F (49°C). Try using the Hi Temp Wash 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 Heat 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

High iron content in the water can discolor the tub. Tomato-based foods can discolor the tub or dishware. Large amounts of tomato-based foods should

be removed from the dishes before loading. A citrus-based cleaner can be used to clean.
