Brown stains on dishes and dishwasher interior  
Dishes do not dry completely  
Does your water have high iron content? Rewash dishes using  
1-3 tsp (5-15 mL) of citric acid crystals added to the covered  
section of the detergent dispenser. Do not use detergent.  
Follow with a Normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is  
needed more often than every other month, the installation of  
an iron removal unit is recommended.  
Dishes do not dry completely  
Did you use a rinse aid? Your dishwasher is designed to use  
rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid your  
dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture.  
The heat dry option will not perform as well without rinse aid.  
Black or gray marks on dishes  
Dishes are not dry  
Are aluminum items rubbing dishes during washing?  
Disposable aluminum items can break down in the dishwasher  
and cause marking. Hand wash these items. Remove  
aluminum markings by using a mild abrasive cleaner.  
Did you load your dishwasher to allow proper water drainage?  
Do not overload. Use a liquid rinse aid to speed drying.  
Are the plastics wet? Plastics often need towel drying.  
Is the rinse aid dispenser empty?  
Orange stains on plastic dishes or dishwasher interior  
Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a  
heated drying option for dryer dishes.  
Are large amounts of tomato-based foods on dishes placed in  
the dishwasher? It may be necessary to use a stain removal  
product to remove stains from your dishwasher. Stains will not  
affect dishwasher performance.  
Excess moisture on racks and dishwasher interior  
Check the rinse aid indicator to see that there is rinse aid in the  
dispenser.  
Noises  
Grinding, grating, crunching or buzzing sounds  
Spots and stains on dishes  
Spotting and filming on dishes  
A hard object has entered the wash module (on some models).  
When the object is ground up, the sound should stop. If the  
noise persists after a complete cycle, call for service.  
Is your water hard, or is there a high mineral content in your  
water? Conditioning the final rinse water with a liquid rinse aid  
helps eliminate spotting and filming. Keep the rinse aid  
dispenser filled. Always use a high-temp option. If your water  
hardness is 13 grains or above, it is strongly recommended that  
you install a home water softener. If you do not wish to drink  
softened water, have the softener installed onto your hot water  
supply.  
Dishes are not completely clean  
Food soil left on the dishes  
Is the dishwasher loaded correctly?  
Did you choose the cycle that describes the most difficult soil in  
your dishwasher? If you have some items with heavier soils,  
use a heavier cycle.  
Is the water temperature too low? For best dishwashing results,  
water should be 120°F (49°C) as it enters the dishwasher.  
Did you use the correct amount of effective detergent? Use  
recommended dishwasher detergents only. Do not use less  
than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be  
effective. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra  
detergent.

than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Detergent must be fresh to be  
effective. Heavy soil and/or hard water generally require extra  
detergent.  
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher  
filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to  
828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about  
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.  
Is detergent caked in dispenser? Use fresh detergent only. Do  
not allow detergent to sit for several hours in a wet dispenser.  
Clean dispenser when caked detergent is present.  
NOTE: To remove spots and film from glassware, remove all  
silverware and metal items and run a vinegar rinse as described  
in “Dishwasher Care.”  
Is the pump or spray arm clogged by labels from bottles and  
cans?  
Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-colored  
deposit; etching is a cloudy film)  
Is the home water pressure high enough for proper dishwasher  
filling? Home water pressure should be 20 to 120 psi (138 to  
828 kPa) for proper dishwasher fill. If you have questions about  
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.  
Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain  
types of glassware. This is usually caused by some  
combination of soft or softened water, alkaline washing  
solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and  
the heat of drying. It might not be possible to avoid the  
problem, except by hand washing.  
Are high suds slowing the wash arm? Do not use soap or  
laundry detergents. Use recommended dishwasher detergents  
only.  
To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but  
not less than 1 tbs (15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and  
underload the dishwasher to allow thorough rinsing. Silica film  
and etching are permanent and cannot be removed. Do not use  
heated drying.  
Dishes are damaged during a cycle  
Chipping of dishes  
Did you load the dishwasher properly? Load the dishes and  
glasses so they are stable and do not strike together from  
washing action. Minimize chipping by moving the rack in and  
out slowly.  
White spots on cookware with nonstick finish  
Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning?  
Reseason cookware after washing it in the dishwasher.  
NOTE: Antiques, feather-edged crystal, and similar types of  
china and glassware might be too delicate for automatic  
dishwashing. Wash by hand.
