troubleshooting PROBLEM Leaves glasses with a dull film. Leaves a yellow or brown film on the inside of the dishwasher. Does not dry dishes well. Has a bad odor. POSSIBLE CAUSE The water supplied is soft and too much detergent was used. Aluminum dishes were included in the wash load. This is caused by coffee and tea soils. SOLUTION Underload the dishwasher and use a rinse aid to minimize this. Remove the marks on the dishes using a low sensitivity cleaner. Remove the soils using a spot cleaner. There is no rinse aid in the dispenser. The temperature of the water is low when the dishwasher is running. Too many dishes have been loaded. Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when you are unloading. Check the dispenser and add rinse aid. Use a liquid type rinse aid. Make sure that the water supply line is connected to a hot water supply. Use rinse aid with the Sanitize option. Proper loading of items can affect drying. Load your dishes as recommended. (See page 14.) After the cycle finishes, empty the lower rack first and then the upper rack. This will prevent water from dripping from the upper rack onto the dishes in the lower rack. Water was left over from an incomplete cycle. The Drain Hose is obstructed. The dishwasher is not used daily or soiled dishes are left in unit too long. With the dishwasher empty, add detergent to the dispenser, and then run the Normal cycle to clean the dishwasher. Contact a qualified service technician to remove any obstruction from the drain hose. With the dishwasher empty and no detergent in the dispenser, place a glass with 8 ounces of vinegar upright into the lower rack, and then run a Normal cycle. Is too noisy. Sound is generated when the dispenser cover is open and the drain pump is operating in an early stage. The dishwasher is not level. Foreign material (a screw, a plastic piece) is in the pump chamber. There is a 'chopping' sound because a nozzle is bumping against the dishes. This is normal operation. Ensure the dishwasher is level. Contact a qualified service technician to remove foreign material from the pump chamber. Rearrange the dishes. English - 24
