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 2-5 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 the 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. Place the panel against dishwasher legs. Using a Phillips screwdriver or 1/4" nut driver, reinstall the screws through the holes in the access panel.
