Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem Possible Cause What To Do
Start status indicator light flashing The door was opened or the cycle was interrupted. Press the Start pad once and close the door within 4 seconds to start the dishwasher. Press the Start pad a second time when the dishwasher is running only if you wish to cancel the cycle.
Dishwasher BEEPS once every minute (on some models) This is a reminder that your dishwasher door has been left open during operation. It will continue beeping until you press Start and close the door. Press Start and close the door.
Beeping at the end of the cycle (on some models) This is normal. Dishwasher will beep twice at the end of the cycle. To turn off the double beep indicator (or re-activate it if it was previously turned off), press the Heated Dry pad 5 times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound to indicate the end-of-cycle beep option has been turned on or off.
Dishes and flatware not clean Ultra-Fine Filter or Fine Filter is clogged See the Care and Cleaning section.
Low inlet water temperature Make sure inlet water temperature is correct (see the USING THE DISHWASHER section). Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, let run until the water temperature stops rising. Then start the dishwasher and turn off the faucet. This ensures the entering water is hot. Select Wash Temp Boost if available.
Spots and filming on glasses and flatware Extremely hard water Use rinse agents such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid to prevent spots and prevent new film build-up. If water is extremely hard, a softener may be required.
Low inlet water temperature Make sure water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Overloading or improper loading of the dishwasher Load dishwasher as shown in the Loading section.
Cloudiness on glassware Combination of soft water and too much detergent This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean.
