Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Water standing in the bottom of the tub**
This issue can occur if the air gap is clogged or if there's an improper high drain loop. Cleaning the air gap and ensuring that the drain line is installed correctly, as per installation instructions, can help resolve this problem -
**Dishes and flatware not clean**
Common causes include a clogged filter assembly, low inlet water temperature, temporary low water pressure, or improper loading that blocks the detergent dispenser or wash arms. Ensuring proper water temperature and pressure, cleaning the filter, and loading correctly can mitigate this issue -
**Spots and filming on glasses and flatware**
This can be due to hard water, low water temperature, or the use of low-performing detergent. Using a rinse aid and ensuring the water temperature is adequate are recommended solutions -
**Detergent left in dispenser cups**
This can happen if dishes or utensils block the detergent cup. Repositioning dishes so water can flush the detergent cup and ensuring no tall utensils block the cup door can solve this issue -
**Dishwasher won't run**
Potential causes include a blown fuse, a tripped circuit breaker, or the control panel being locked. Ensuring that the power supply is active and the control panel is unlocked is necessary
Maintenance Recommendations
No specific maintenance recommendations available for this model. Follow general appliance care guidelines.
- Regularly inspect and clean the filter assembly to maintain washing performance. Remove and rinse filters with warm soapy water, using a soft brush if needed.
- Clean the spray arms by washing them in warm soapy water and using a soft brush to clear the jets. This prevents blockages from hard water minerals.
- Use a dishwasher cleaner or citric acid periodically to clean and deodorize the interior. This helps in breaking up mineral deposits and removing stains.
- For stainless steel surfaces, use cleaners with oxalic acid to remove rust and blemishes. Avoid using bleach or cleaners with chlorine.
- Use a rinse agent to prevent spots and film build-up, which can enhance drying performance.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the AutoSense cycle, which automatically adjusts the water temperature and cycle time based on soil levels, to ensure optimal energy and water usage.
- Ensure the dishwasher is run only with full loads to maximize the energy efficiency per wash cycle.
- Utilize a high-rated detergent that works effectively in energy-saving cycles to prevent the need for additional washing.
- Regularly use a rinse agent like Finish® Jet-Dry® to minimize spots and enhance drying performance, reducing the need for additional drying time.
- Avoid using the heated dry option and instead let the dishes air dry by opening the door after the cycle completes, which greatly reduces energy consumption.
- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in the manual; all other servicing should be done by a qualified technician.
- To minimize the risk of electric shock, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance; note that turning the dishwasher off does not disconnect it from the power supply.
- Use only detergents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of reach of children.
- Do not wash plastic items unless marked dishwasher safe; for unmarked items, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
- Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this or any appliance.
