Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Spots and Filming on Glasses and Flatware**
This can be caused by extremely hard water, low inlet water temperature, overloading, or improper loading of the dishwasher. Using fresh, high-quality detergent and rinse agents, and ensuring the water temperature is at least 120°F can help resolve this issue -
**Dishes Don’t Dry**
Often due to low inlet water temperature or an empty rinse agent dispenser. Ensuring the water temperature is adequate and using Boost Dry or high-energy cycles can improve drying performance -
**White Film on Glassware**
This issue is usually due to a combination of soft water and excessive detergent or low performing phosphate-free detergent. Using less detergent and running glassware in the shortest cycle may prevent etching -
**Water Won’t Pump Out**
This problem might be due to a clogged drain or disposer, improper installation of air gap or high drain loop, or even a clogged air gap itself. Cleaning these elements and ensuring proper installation can help -
**Dishwasher Won’t Run**
Issues could be due to a blown fuse, tripped circuit breaker, or a door that is not completely closed. Additionally, checking for locked control panels and ensuring a proper start sequence is crucial
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Task: Clean Filters
Frequency: Frequency: Every 2 Months
Details: Inspect and clean the Ultra-Fine and Fine filters periodically. This is essential if there is a noticeable decrease in wash performance or if dishes feel gritty. Remove the filters by twisting the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise, then rinse them with warm soapy water and use a sponge to remove stubborn particles. Replace the filters by securing them in place as directed.** -
2. **Task: Use Rinse Aid
Frequency: Frequency: As Needed
Details: High-quality rinse aids, such as Cascade Platinum Power Dry or Finish Jet-Dry, should be used to enhance drying performance and reduce spots and filming on dishes. Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled as required.** -
3. **Task: Clean Dishwasher Interior
Frequency: Frequency: As Needed
Details: Use a citric acid cleaning cycle to remove hard water mineral deposits. This can be done using products like Cascade Platinum Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish Dishwasher Cleaner. Run a wash cycle with these products to maintain a clean interior.** -
4. **Task: Inspect Spray Arm
Frequency: Frequency: Periodically
Details: Check the spray arms for any blockages. The arms need to rotate freely during a wash cycle. Clean them if necessary to ensure they are not blocked by large dishes or debris.** -
5. **Task: Check Drain System
Frequency: Frequency: As Needed
Details: Ensure that the air gap (if equipped) and disposal are clean to prevent clogging. This should be checked particularly if the dishwasher is not draining properly.**

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the AutoSense cycle to automatically adjust the wash settings based on the soil level, optimizing both water and energy usage.
- Select the Wash Zones option to wash only the upper or lower rack, saving energy and water when you have a smaller load.
- Turn off the Dry Boost option if you want to air dry your dishes naturally; this will save energy by using less heat.
- Regularly clean the ultra-fine and fine filters to maintain wash performance and efficiency, preventing energy wastage from redundant cycles.
- Avoid the use of heated cycles like the Sani or Steam cycles when not necessary; instead, opt for Normal or shorter cycles for less energy consumption.
- Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.
- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
- To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. Note: Turning off the dishwasher does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
- Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe. For plastic items not marked, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly to prevent accidents. When getting rid of your dishwasher, remove the door of the washing compartment.
