Cycle Guide IMPORTANT: The sensor in your dishwasher monitors the soil level. Cycle time can take less or over an hour longer than the nominal times listed as the sensor adjusts the cycle for the best wash performance. If the incoming water is less than the recommended temperature of 120° or food soils are heavy, the cycle will automatically compensate by adding time, heat, and water as needed.
