Whirlpool GU2800XTV 用户指南

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.

■

Is the cycle complete?

Was the disposer knockout plug removed during installation? 
(See “Install the drain hose” section in the Installation 
Instructions.)

■

Is the cycle complete?

Check for items such as cookie sheets, cutting boards, or large 
containers that may be blocking the detergent dispenser from 
opening properly.

Be sure the cycle has finished (green light is on). If it has not 
finished, you will need to resume the cycle by pressing START/
RESUME and closing the door within 3 seconds.

Is the detergent lump-free? Replace detergent if necessary.

■

Was too much detergent used?

Is the brand of detergent making excess foam? Try a different 
brand to reduce foaming and eliminate buildup.

■

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.”

■

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.

■

Check to see if items loaded for P

have shifted. Reload to keep items from interfering with spray 
jets or spray arm. 

■

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.

■

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? 

Did you use an air-dry or energy-saving dry option? Use a 
heated drying option for dryer dishes.

■

Check the rinse aid indicator to see that there is rinse aid in the 
dispenser.

■

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.

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.

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. 

NOTE: To remove spots and film from glassware, remove all 
silverware and metal items and run a vinegar rinse as described 
in “Dishwasher Care.”

■

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. 

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.

■

Has the dishwasher detergent removed cookware seasoning? 
Reseason cookware after washing it in the dishwasher.

■

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 suggested.

■

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.

■

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.

■

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.
