• Detergent cup opening.

• The motor starting during the drying period.

• Water draining out of the tub immediately after you 

start the dishwasher.

• Make sure everything is secured in dishwasher.

• Dishwasher has not been used on a regular basis. If you 

do not use your dishwasher often, set it to fill and pump 
out once every week. This will help keep the seal moist.

• Dishwasher control was not advanced properly to the start 

of the desired cycle. Advance the control to the start of 
the desired cycle.

• Reposition the dishes.

• If you have an air gap, clean it.

• Check to see if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, 

you may need a plumber.

• If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear.

• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents to avoid sudsing.

• To remove suds from the tub, open the dishwasher and let 

suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close 
and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly turning 
the dial until a drain period is reached. Repeat if necessary.

• Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.

• Some detergents contain colorant (pigment or dyes) that 

will discolor the tub interior with extended use. Check the 
detergent cup for signs of any discoloration. If cup is
discolored, change to detergent without any colorant.

• Use of the RINSE ONLY cycle after adding the dish to the 

load can decrease the level of staining.

• Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual? 

If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.

• Clean the air gap.

• Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent 

dispenser or the wash arms.
