Solutions to Common Problems
FOOD SOILS LEFT ON DISHES
• Check incoming water temperature. (See Getting Started, page 8.) It should
be at least 120°F (49°C). (See Factors Affecting Performance, page 20.)
• Choose another cycle for longer washing time.
• Check rack loading section for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Home water pressure may be too low—should be 20 to 120 pounds per
square inch (psi).
• Check water hardness. For extremely hard water, it may be necessary to
install a water softener. (See Detergent Usage Guide, page 18.)
• Use fresh detergent.
• Make sure items are not blocking any of the spray arms, preventing them
from rotating.
DISHES NOT DRY
• Make sure the rinse aid dispenser is filled.
• Increase the amount of rinse aid (See Rinse Aid, page 19).
• Check the incoming water temperature. Be sure it is at least 120°F (49°C).
• Check for proper loading—avoid nesting items.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried. More water collects on plastic
items when cycle is complete because they do not get as hot as glass or
metal items.
• Cups with a concave bottom will collect water.
