Dishwasher Care
Cleaning the Dishwasher 
Clean the exterior of the dishwasher with a soft, damp cloth and 
mild detergent. If your dishwasher has a stainless steel exterior, a 
stainless steel cleaner is recommended.
NOTE: Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled.
Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered 
dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent 
on a damp sponge. 
A white vinegar rinse may remove white spots and film. Vinegar is 
an acid, and using it too often could damage your dishwasher.
Put 2 cups (500 mL) white vinegar in a glass or dishwasher-safe 
measuring cup on the bottom rack. Run the dishwasher through a 
complete washing cycle using an air-dry or an energy-saving dry 
option. Do not use detergent. Vinegar will mix with the wash water.
Storing the Dishwasher 
If you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer, turn off 
the water and power supply to the dishwasher. In the winter, if the 
dishwasher could be exposed to near freezing temperatures or is 
left in a seasonal dwelling such as a second home or vacation 
home, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized 
by authorized service personnel.

First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.

Dishwasher is not operating properly
Dishwasher does not run or stops during a cycle
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?
It is normal for certain cycles to repeatedly pause for several 
seconds during the main wash.

Is the overfill protection float able to

Dishwasher seems to run too long
The dishwasher can run up to 3
¹⁄₂ hours depending on soil 
level, water temperature, cycles and options.
Is the water supplied to the dishwasher hot enough? The 
dishwasher runs longer while heating water. 
Is the dishwasher cycle time within the cycle times? See cycle 
sections wash times. A delay automatically occurs in some 
wash and rinse cycles until the water reaches the proper 
temperature.
This dishwasher is equipped with an optical sensor wash that 
detects water temperature, soil and detergent amount. Wash 
cycles are adjusted based on what is sensed. 
IMPORTANT: The very first wash cycle after installation in your 
home will be adjusted to include an additional 2 rinses. This 
cycle must not be interrupted for proper sensor adjustment. If 
this adjustment cycle is canceled or stopped before the Clean 
light comes on at the end of the cycle, the next wash cycle will 
repeat this sensor adjustment.
Water remains in the dishwasher
Is the cycle complete?
Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different 
brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.
Odor in the dishwasher
Are dishes washed only every 2 or 3 days? Run a rinse cycle 
once or twice a day until you have a full load.
Does the dishwasher have a new plastic smell? Run a vinegar 
rinse as described in “Dishwasher Care.”
Condensation on the kitchen counter (built-in models)
Is the dishwasher aligned with the countertop? Moisture from 
the vent in the dishwasher console can form on the counter. 
Refer to the Installation Instructions for more information.
(On some models)
Periodically clean the filter screen 
located on the bottom of the tub. 
Remove collected particles from 
the screen with your fingers or a 
paper towel. 
If you have a drain air gap, 
check and clean it if the 
dishwasher isn't draining 
well.
