Filter Reinstallation Instructions 1. Noting the previous illustrations, place the lower filter under the locating tabs in the bottom of the dishwasher so the round opening for the upper filter assembly lines up with the round opening in the bottom of the tub. 2. Insert the upper filter assembly into the circular opening in the lower filter. 3. Slowly rotate the filter clockwise until it drops into place. Continue to rotate until the filter is locked into place. If the filter is not fully seated (still turns freely), continue to turn the filter clockwise until it drops and locks into place. NOTE: The upper filter assembly arrow does not have to align with the arrow in the lower filter as long as the filter is locked. IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to dishwasher, do not operate your dishwasher without the filters properly installed. Be sure the lower filter is securely in place and the upper filter assembly is locked into place. If the upper filter assembly turns freely, it is not locked into place.

If you experience Recommended Solutions Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several seconds during the main wash. Is the door closed tightly and latched? Is the right cycle selected? Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped? Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. Has the motor stopped due to an overload? The motor automatically resets itself within a few minutes. If it does not restart, call for service. Is the water shutoff valve (if installed) turned on? The Clean light Check the following: is flashing ɃɃ Is the overfill protection float able to move up and down freely? Press down to release. ɃɃ Be sure the water supply is turned on to the dishwasher. This is very important following the new installation of your dishwasher. ɃɃ Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water. Suds can come from: ɃɃ Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for hand washing dishes. ɃɃ Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent. Dishes do not dry completely NOTE: Plastic and items with nonstick surfaces are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface which tends to collect water droplets. Towel drying may be necessary. Use of rinse aid along with Heat Dry option is needed for proper drying. Proper loading of items can affect drying. Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items when unloading. ɃɃ Unload the bottom rack first. ɃɃ For improved results, place these items on the more slanted side of the rack. Noise NOTES: ɃɃ Surging sounds can occur periodically throughout the cycle while the dishwasher is draining. ɃɃ Normal water valve hissing may be heard periodically. ɃɃ A normal snap sound may be heard when the detergent dispenser opens during the cycle or when the door is opened at the end of the cycle. ɃɃ Improper installation will affect noise levels. Be sure the filters are properly installed. A thumping sound may be heard if items extend beyond the racks and interfere with the wash arms. Readjust the dishware and resume the cycle 6
