TROUBLESHOOTING  
CHECK THESE POINTS TO HELP SAVE YOU TIME AND MONEY  
PROBLEM  
SOLUTION  
DISHWASHER DOES  
NOT RUN  
NOTE: It is normal for the dishwasher to repeatedly pause several times during a cycle.  
If the Start/Resume light is blinking:  
Press START/RESUME and close the door within 4 seconds.  
Be sure the door is closed and latched.  
Check that there is not an interference with large casserole dishes and the wash system  
at the back of the dishwasher.  
Check to see if any items are protruding through the bottom or back of the rack. Also  
check to see if tall items are hitting the upper rack or spray arm. Adjust loading as  
necessary to ensure door is closed and latched.  
Press START/RESUME or CANCEL, or open and close the door before selecting your cycle/  
option. Controls must be awakened after a period of inactivity.  
Be sure the Control/Lock feature is not on. If the control lock indicator is lit, press and hold  
CONTROL LOCK for 3 seconds. The Control Lock LED will turn off and you can then operate  
the controls.  
Be sure you have selected a cycle. See the “Cycles and Options Information” section.  
Be sure there is power to the dishwasher. A circuit breaker or fuse may have tripped.  
If lights other than Start/Resume blink and the unit will not run, call for service.  
Check for dishware, such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large containers, etc., that may be  
DETERGENT REMAINS IN  
THE DISPENSER OR TABLET blocking the detergent dispenser from water flow.  
IS ON BOTTOM OF TUB  
Be sure your detergent is fresh and lump free.  
If the cycle has completed, the Complete indicator light will be lit on the control panel. If it has  
not completed, resume the cycle by closing the door and pressing Start/Resume.  
CYCLE RUNS TOO LONG  
NOTES:  
To use less water and reduce energy consumption, you will encounter cycles that typically run  
for up to 3 hours. Efficient dishwashers run longer to save water and energy, just as driving a  
car slower saves on gas.  
A water heater setting of 120°F (49°C) is best; the dishwasher will delay longer while heating  
cooler water.  
Some options will add time to the cycle. See the “Cycles and Options Information” section.  
The Heated Dry option adds up to 46 minutes.  
Try the 1 Hour Wash cycle. The 1 Hour Wash cycle uses more energy and water to clean the  
dishes in less time.  
Run hot water at the faucet closest to the dishwasher before starting the cycle.  
DISHWASHER NOT DRYING 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 the Heated Dry option is needed for proper drying.  
Proper loading of items can affect drying. (See specific loading instructions within this guide.)  
Glasses and cups with concave bottoms hold water. This water may spill onto other items  
when unloading.  
Unload the bottom rack first.  
Locate these items on the more slanted side of the rack for improved results.  
WILL NOT FILL  
Be sure the water is turned on to the dishwasher.  
Check that the overfill protection float is free from obstructions. See the “Parts and  
Features” section.  
Check for suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected, the dishwasher  
may not operate properly or may not fill with water. See “Blinking Lights” in the  
“Troubleshooting” section.
