Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Possible Causes | What To Do |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher won't run | Fuse is blown, or the circuit breaker tripped | Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Remove any other appliances from the circuit. Try pressing the START/RESET pad (Electronic models) two times. |
| Noise | Some of the sounds you'll hear are normal | Soft food disposal shredding action, Drain valve opening, Timer control, Detergent cup opening, Motor stopping, Water draining out of tub immediately after touching START/RESET. |
| Water standing in the bottom of the tub | This is normal | A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back of the tub keeps the water seal lubricated. |
| Water won't pump out of the tub | Drain is clogged | If you have an air gap, clean it. Check if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber. If the dishwasher drains into a disposer, run disposer clear. |
| Suds in the tub | Wrong detergent was used | Use only automatic dishwasher detergents. To remove suds, open dishwasher, let dissipate, add 1 gallon cold water. Pump out water. |
| Stained tub interior | Rinse agent was spilled | Always wipe up rinse agent spills immediately. |
