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 - Stainless Steel Cleaner

and Polish Part Number 31464.

Clean the interior of the dishwasher, with a paste of powdered

dishwasher detergent and water or use liquid dishwasher detergent

on a damp sponge to clean the cooled-down interior.

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 months,

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.

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.

seconds during the main wash.

■ Clean light is flashing

Call for service.

■ Dishwasher will not fill

Is the overfill protection float able to

move up and down freely? Press down

to release.

■ Dishwasher seems to run too long

The dishwasher can run up to 3¹⁄₂ 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.

Is the cycle complete?

■ Detergent remains in the covered section of the dispenser

Is the cycle complete?

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

■ White residue on the front of the access panel

Was too much detergent used?

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.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.
