14
Stains on Tub Interior
• Washing large amounts of dishware with tomato based
soil can cause a pink/orange appearance. This will not
affect performance and will gradually fade over time.
Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only cycle will reduce the
chance of staining. Using no air dry option will lessen
staining.
Dishwasher Leaks
• Use only fresh detergent designed for automatic
dishwashers. Measure detergent carefully. Try a
different brand.
• Use fresh detergent. Old detergent is ineffective.
• Make sure rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Check to see that proper amount of detergent is being
used for cycle selected. (See Detergent Usage Guide.)
• Home water pressure may be too low—it should be
20 to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
Dishware Chipped
• Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing
and Loading Dishes.)
• Place delicate items in top rack.
• Place glasses securely against pins and not over pins.
• Load items so they are secure and don’t jar loose
when moving racks in and out. Move racks in and out
slowly.
• Make sure tall glasses and stemware will clear top of
tub when rack is pushed in.
• Fine antique china and crystal should be hand-
washed.
Before calling for service, review this
list. It may save you both time and
expense. This list includes common

your dishwasher.
Food Soils Left on Dishes
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid
nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20
to 120 pounds per square inch (psi).
• Check incoming water temperature. It should be close
to 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance.)
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it
may be necessary to install a water softener. (See
Detergent Chart.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking the spray arms,
preventing them from rotating.
Dishes not Dry
• Deselect Air Dry option.
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.

close to least 120°F (49°C).
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.

• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. Load
them at the far left and right of the upper rack so
they will be held in a tipped position.

Cloudy
• Check water hardness and adjust amount of
detergent. For extremely hard water, it may be
necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent
Usage Guide.)

or high temperatures. (See Factors Affecting
Performance.)

SOLUTIONS TO COMMON DISHWASHING PROBLEMS

not normal. If water remains in the bottom of the tub,
the dishwasher may not be draining properly. (See

blown.
