ADDITIONAL TIPS
Expect longer wash times. Your new dishwasher will average 
2-5 hours per load but use nearly 40% less energy than older 
models. Designed with a low wattage, low energy consumption 
motor, your dishwasher washes longer to ensure exceptional 
cleaning. Certain models are equipped with an optical water 
sensor, so the first cycle will run longer to calibrate to optical 
sensor. Selecting certain options could increase cycle time 
past 3.5 hours.
Rinse Aid is necessary for good drying results: 
This dishwasher is designed to be used with rinse aid for good 
drying performance and controlling hard water deposit buildup. 
Energy efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so 
they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good 
drying performance.
Start/Resume light may flash: 
When pressing Start/Resume, you must make sure the door 
is closed within 3 seconds. If you do not close the door within 
3 seconds, the Start/Resume light will flash until you press it 
again. (You must also do this when adding a dish during the 
middle of a cycle.)
CHECK OPERATION
 ■ Read the dishwasher User Guide that came with 
your dishwasher.
 ■ Check that all parts have been installed and no steps 
were skipped. Check that you have all tools used.
If the dishwasher is not working properly, disconnect power 
or unplug dishwasher and refer to the “If Dishwasher Does 
Not Operate” section.
IF DISHWASHER DOES NOT OPERATE
First try the solutions suggested here to possibly avoid the cost 
of a service call.
 ■ Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
 ■ Is the door closed tightly and latched?
 ■ Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
 ■ Is the water turned on?
If none of these possible solutions work, please see the 
User Guide for service contact information.
