Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly**
This can be caused by issues such as a clogged glass trap, a kinked drain hose, or an issue with the garbage disposal connection -
**Dishes Not Dry**
Poor drying may result from an empty rinse aid dispenser, not selecting the appropriate drying options, or incorrect loading of dishes, which prevents proper air circulation -
**Dishwasher Won’t Fill with Water**
Possible causes include the water supply being turned off, a defective water inlet valve, a stuck overfill protector, or issues with the float switch -
**Dishwasher Won’t Run**
This could be due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, an incomplete cycle setting, or the door not being properly closed and latched -
**Dishwasher Leaks Water**
Leaks may be associated with an improperly sealed door gasket, spills of rinse aid, over-sudsing from using the wrong detergent, or the dishwasher not being level

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the "Energy Saver" cycle to reduce energy consumption during dishwashing.
- Ensure the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F to optimize the dishwasher’s performance without unnecessary heating.
- Load dishes properly to ensure optimal spray coverage, which can help in reducing the amount of water and energy needed per cycle.
- Select the "Heat Dry" option in combination with rinse aid to improve drying efficiency, although it uses more energy, it ensures better drying performance and reduces the need to re-run cycles.
- Schedule dishwashing cycles during off-peak hours using the delay start function to take advantage of lower energy rates.
- Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in their proper place to prevent electrical shock or injury.
- Electrical Shock Hazard: Disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker before servicing the dishwasher.
- Keep young children and infants away from the dishwasher when it is operating to prevent drowning hazards or injuries.
- To avoid entrapment and/or suffocation, remove the door or latch mechanism from a dishwasher that is discarded or not in use.
- Use only detergents and rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher to avoid potential fire hazards.
