Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
Spots and Filming on Glasses and Flatware
This issue is often caused by extremely hard water, low inlet water temperature, overloading or improper loading of the dishwasher, using old or damp detergent, or an empty rinse agent dispenser -
Cloudiness on Glassware
Known as etching, this can occur due to a combination of soft water and excessive detergent. It results in permanent cloudiness on glassware -
Dishes and Flatware Not Clean
This can be due to a clogged filter, low inlet water temperature, low water pressure, a clogged air gap or disposer, improper rack loading, or use of poor-performing detergent -
Water Won't Pump Out
This may be caused by a clogged drain. It's important to check if the dishwasher's drain is properly installed and clear any clogs in the air gap if present -
Dishwasher Won't Run
Possible causes include a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker, power being turned off, a locked control panel, or a detected leak. Following the proper start sequence is crucial
Maintenance Recommendations
-
1. **Task:** Inspect and Clean Filters
Frequency: **Frequency:** Every 2 Months or More
**Details:** Periodically inspect and clean the filters. If there's a decrease in wash performance or dishes feel gritty, clean the filters by removing the bottom rack and twisting the Ultra-Fine Filter assembly counterclockwise. Rinse with warm soapy water and remove stubborn particles with a sponge. -
2. **Task:** Clean Dishwasher Interior
Frequency: **Frequency:** As Needed
**Details:** Use citric acid, or commercial dishwasher cleaners like Cascade® Platinum™ or Finish® to remove mineral deposits and hard water stains. This should be repeated several times a year depending on the water hardness. -
3. **Task:** Clean and Descale the Tub
Frequency: **Frequency:** As Needed
**Details:** White films on the inside, usually caused by minerals from hard water, can be removed by using rinse agents and dishwasher cleaners. Run the dishwasher with citric acid or vinegar to descale. -
4. **Task:** Check Rinse Agent Level
Frequency: **Frequency:** Monthly
**Details:** Ensure the rinse agent dispenser is filled, as rinse agents help improve drying performance and protect from hard water mineral deposits. -
5. **Task:** Clean the Door and Control Panel
Frequency: **Frequency:** As Needed
**Details:** Depending on your model, door panels require specific cleaners. For stainless steel, use oxalic acid cleaners for rust and blemishes. Never use abrasive powders or cleaners containing chlorine.
- Regularly inspect and clean the filters every two months or more frequently based on usage. A decline in wash performance or gritty dishes indicates the need for filter cleaning.
- For stainless steel door panels, use a cleaner with oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend Soft Cleanser™, to remove rust and tarnish. Gently rub in the brush line direction with a damp soft sponge.
- Clean the glass door panel with a glass cleaner or mild soap and water, and use a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive powders.
- To clean and deodorize the dishwasher, use citric acid or a detergent additive like Cascade® Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner to break up mineral deposits and remove hard water stains.
- Ensure all high-usage touchpoints are protected against bacteria growth with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology, which keeps surfaces significantly cleaner.

Energy Efficiency Tips
- Use the "Normal" or "AutoSense" cycle for everyday loads, as these cycles are designed to conserve both water and energy.
- Avoid using the "Heated Dry" option; instead, let dishes air dry by opening the dishwasher door slightly after the cycle ends to conserve energy.
- Load the dishwasher to full capacity before running a cycle to maximize water and energy use efficiency.
- Use a high-quality rinse agent to enhance drying performance without needing to use additional heating.
- Always scrape off food scraps rather than rinsing dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, as this reduces water usage.
- Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside the dishwasher. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
- Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of children.
- To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect the appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance.
- Risk of child entrapment: Ensure proper disposal of the dishwasher by removing the door to prevent accidents.
- Do not store or use combustible materials including gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
