PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY
WATER CANT
PUMPOUT
Some state or local plumbing codes require the use of a drain air
gap between a built-in dishwasher and the drain system of the home.
This plumbing device is not part of the dishwasher. The air gap usually
located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher is to
prevent the possibility of backflow into the dishwasher in the event
of a clogged drain system.
THE DISHWASHER WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER SERVICE
COST TO CLEAN OR REPAIR A DRAIN AIR GAR
Most air gaps are simple to inspect and to clean when necessary.
Most models can be cleaned by lifting off a chrome cover and un
screwing a plastic cap and then removing any material that may have
accumulated. This procedure should be followed any time the dish
washer fails to drain properly.
AIR GAP
COUNTERTOP MOUNTED
SUDS IN TUB
Use of high-sudsing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher deter
gents. To remove suds from tub: open dishwasher and allow suds to
dissipate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to tub and close dishwasher. Pump
out water by slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.
DISHWASHER LEAKS
Use of detergent not designed for automatic dishwashers, especially
sudsing type. Unnecessary use of wetting agent. See page 7.
