18 Solutions to Common Problems IMPORTANT Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and expense. This list includes common experiences that are not the result of defective workmanship or material in your dishwasher. FOOD SOILS LEFT ON DISHES • Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 5.) It should be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 15.) • 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 90 pounds per square inch (psi). • Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 13.) • Use fresh detergent. • Make sure items are not blocking any of the spray arms, preventing them from rotating. DISPLAY NOT IN OPERATING MODE • Hold down HI-TEMP ICON for 5 seconds to reset unit to Normal Operating Mode. DISHES NOT DRY • Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled. • Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse Aid, page 14). • Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C). • Check for proper loading-avoid nesting items. • Plastic items may need to be towel dried. More water collects on plastic items when cycle is complete because they do not get as hot as glass or metal items. • Cups with a concave bottom will collect water. DISHWARE CHIPPED • Load with care and do not overload. (See Preparing and Loading Dishes, pages 9-11.) • 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. • It is recommeded to wash fine antique china and crystal by hand.
