•  If unit is hooked up to a food waste 

disposer, make sure the disposer is empty.

•  Check to see if the knockout plug has 

been removed from inside the food waste 

disposer inlet.

•  Check to see if drain hose is kinked.

•  Make sure cycle is complete, not in a 

pause.

•  Is cycle in a water heating delay?

•  Has the Delay Start option been selected?

•  Has the Sanitize option been selected?

•  Is water supply turned on?

•  Does overfill protector move up and down 

freely? (See Overfill Protector section.)

•  Soiled dishes left in dishwasher too long 

can create an odor. Use Rinse Only cycle.

•  There will be a “new” smell when first 

installed. This is normal.

•  Check to see if unit is draining properly. 

(See Dishwasher Does Not Drain Properly.)

•  Place 2 tablespoons of baking soda into 

detergent dispenser and run through a 

Quick Wash cycle.

 

•  Washing large amounts of dishware with 

tomato based soil can cause a pink/

orange appearance. This will not affect 

performance and will gradually fade over 

time. Pre-rinsing or using the Rinse Only 

cycle for dishware with tomato base soil will 

reduce the chance of staining. Using No 

Heat Dry option will lessen staining.

•  Try using a detergent containing chlorine 

bleach.

Hard water can cause lime deposit buildup 

on the interior of the dishwasher. Dishes and 

glasses may also get spots and film for a 

number of reasons. (See Glassware/Flatware 

Spotted or Cloudy section.) To remove 

buildup, spots and film, clean using the 

following instructions:
1.  Load clean dishes and glasses in normal 

manner. Do not load any metal utensils or 

silverware.

2.  Do not add detergent.

3.  Select the Normal Wash cycle. Close and 

latch door. Press Start/Cancel pad.

4.  Allow dishwasher to run until it starts 

the second water fill (approximately 10 

minutes).

5.  Unlatch and open door and pour 2 

cups of white vinegar into the bottom of 

dishwasher.

6.  Close and latch door and allow cycle to 

finish.

Note: If these conditions persist, a home 

water softener should be considered.
