Check Operation ■ Read the Dishwasher User Guide that came with your dishwasher. ■ Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have all tools used. ■ Start dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash cycle. After the first 2 minutes, unlatch door, wait 5 seconds, then open door. Check that there is water in the bottom of the dishwasher tub. Check that dishwasher is working properly. If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power or unplug dishwasher and See the "If Dishwasher Does Not Operate" section. If Dishwasher Does Not Operate First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost of a service call. ■ Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown? ■ Is the door closed tightly and latched? ■ Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher? ■ Is the water turned on? If none of these possible solutions work, please see the User Guide for service contact information. Additional Tips Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 2 to 3 hours per load, but use nearly 40% less energy than older models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water sensor so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time past 3.5 hours. Rinse aid is necessary for good drying results: This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good drying performance and controlling hard water deposit buildup. Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance. Start/Resume indicator light may flash: When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within 3 seconds, the Start/Resume indicator light will flash until you press it again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the middle of a cycle.) Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 24
