Common Issues and Troubleshooting
-
**Dishwasher Not Drying Dishes Properly**
This is often due to the rinse aid dispenser being empty, which is crucial because the hybrid drying system does not use a heating element. Ensuring the rinse aid is full can improve drying performance
-
**Food Soil Remaining on Dishes**
This can occur if there is improper loading of dishes, blocked water jet holes on spray arms, clogged filters, or low water temperature. It's important to ensure correct cycle selection, proper loading, and maintaining clean filters
-
**Dishwasher Not Filling with Water (IE Error)**
This issue may arise from a kinked or clogged water supply line or if the water faucet is not turned on
-
**Water Leakage (AE Error)**
Leakage can occur from improper leveling of the dishwasher, or if a wrong detergent type causes excessive suds
-
**Dishwasher Making Noise**
While some noise is normal during operation, excessive noise might be due to improper leveling, or spray arm hitting dishes. Repositioning the dishes or adjusting the leveling feet might resolve this

Energy Efficiency Tips
Use the Auto Cycle: This cycle automatically adjusts the temperature and time based on soil levels, optimizing energy use for each load.
Load Efficiently: Place heavily soiled dishes in the lower rack and lightly soiled ones in the upper rack to ensure efficient cleaning and drying.
Limit Pre-Rinsing: Avoid pre-rinsing dishes before loading. The dishwasher is designed to effectively clean without pre-rinsing, which helps conserve water.
Run Full Loads: Only run the dishwasher when it is completely full. This practice maximizes the efficiency of water and energy use per dish.
Use Energy-Saving Options: Utilize options like Extra Dry or Night Dry to enhance drying without using as much energy as the heated dry option.
Do not let children eat dishwasher detergent or rinse agent, as they can be extremely harmful.
Always fix the drain hose securely in place to avoid water leaks, which could lead to electric shock or other hazards.
To prevent the risk of suffocation, destroy the carton, plastic bag, and other packaging materials immediately after unpacking.
Never attempt to operate this dishwasher if it is damaged or malfunctioning. Doing so can potentially lead to electric shock or injury.
Do not wash dishes exposed to gasoline, solvents, or other flammable materials, as this could result in fire or explosion.
