Energy-efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance.

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, refer to the contact
information referenced in your Quick Start Guide.
