In most cases, regular use of a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a 
mild detergent is all that is necessary to keep the outside of your 
dishwasher looking nice and clean.

Hard water minerals can cause a white film to build up on the 
inside surfaces, especially just beneath the door area.
Do not clean the dishwasher interior until it has cooled. Wear 
rubber gloves. Do not use any type of cleanser other than 
dishwasher detergent because it may cause foaming or sudsing.

Make a paste with powdered dishwasher detergent on a damp 
sponge and clean.

Use liquid automatic dishwasher detergent and clean with a damp 
sponge.

See the vinegar rinse procedure in “Spotting and filming on 
dishes” in “Troubleshooting.”
NOTE: Run a Normal cycle with detergent after cleaning the 
interior.

Check the drain air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining 
well.
Some state or local plumbing codes require the addition of a drain 
air gap between a built-in dishwasher and the home drain system.

If a drain is clogged, the drain air gap protects your dishwasher 
from water backing up into it.

The drain air gap is usually located on top of the sink or 
countertop near the dishwasher. To order a drain air gap, call your 
local dealer; or call us or your designated service center and ask 
for Part Number 300096.
NOTE: The drain air gap is an external plumbing device that is not 
part of your dishwasher. The warranty provided with your 
dishwasher does not cover service costs directly associated with 
the cleaning or repair of the external drain air gap.

Clean the drain air gap periodically to ensure proper drainage of 
your dishwasher. Follow the cleaning instructions provided by the 
manufacturer. With most types, you lift off the chrome cover. 
Unscrew the plastic cap. Then check for any soil buildup. Clean if 
necessary.

Protect your dishwasher during the summer months by turning off 
the water supply and power supply to the dishwasher.

Protect your dishwasher and home against water damage due to 
freezing water lines. If your dishwasher is left in a seasonal 
dwelling or could be exposed to near freezing temperatures, have 
your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.

Is there power to the dishwasher? Has a household fuse 
blown, or has a circuit breaker tripped?

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.

until the water reaches the proper temperature.
