What to do
The system is designed to detect an overflow. When it does,
it shuts off the circulation pump and turns on the drain
pump.
Sound from detergent cup opening.
To ensure everything is secured in the dishwasher.
If you do not use it often, remember to set it to fill and
pump out every week, which will help keep the seal moist.
Use only the special dishwasher detergent to avoid
suds. If this occurs, open the dishwasher and let suds
evaporate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to the tub. Close
and latch the dishwasher, then start the „pre-rinse" wash
cycle to drain out the water... Repeat if necessary.
Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately.
Make sure that the detergent is the one without colorant
Select a stronger programme
Make sure that the action of the detergent dispenser and
spray arms are not blocked by large dishware
1 Take out all metal utensils out of the dishwasher.
2 Do not add detergent.
3 Choose the longest cycle.
4 Start the dishwasher and allow it to run for about 18 to 22
minutes, then it will be in the main wash.
5 Open the door to pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the
bottom of the dishwasher.
6 Close the door and let the dishwasher complete the cycle.
If the vinegar does not work use citric acid crystals instead.
Use less detergent if you have soft water and select a
shortest cycle to wash the glassware
Using a solution of 1/2 cup of bleach and 3 cups of
warm water to remove the stains by hand.
Call a water softener company for a special filter.
To clean the interior, use a damp sponge with
dishwasher detergent and wear rubber gloves. Never
use any other cleaner than dishwasher detergent for the
risk of foaming or suds.
Clean the detergent from the catch.
Re-loading the dishes properly.
There is some steam coming through the vent by the
door latch during drying and water draining.
Use a mild abrasive cleaner to eliminate those marks
A small amount of clean water around the outlet on
the tub bottom keeps the water seal lubricated.
Be careful not to overfill the rinse aid dispenser.
Spilled rinse aid could cause oversudsing and lead
to overflowing. Wipe away any spills with a damp cloth.
Make sure the dishwasher is level.
