 Dishwasher 

Problem Solving 

Unnecessary service calls may be expensive, frustrating, and time-consuming. 
Before you call for service, please review the Problem Solution Guide below. 

Use maximum recommended amount of dishwasher 

detergent. 
You may need a home water softener. 
To remove hard water spots, try a vinegar rinse: 
• Wash and rinse load as usual. 
• Remove all metal items from dishwasher. Do not 

add detergent. 

• Pour 2 cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it on 

bottom rack. 

• Run dishes through an entire wash program. If 

the vinegar rinse does not work, repeat process 

substituting ¼ cup of citric acid crystals (available 

at most drug stores) for the vinegar. 

Hard water 

Wiping metal items with a damp cloth should 

remove spots. For sterling and silver plated 
flatware, rub with a towel, or use a good cream 

silver polish. 

Garbage disposal or sink trap full 

Run garbage disposal to eliminate food and 
obstructions in sink. Make sure sink drains properly. 

No rinse aid 

Make sure rinse aid dispenser is full. 

Water not hot enough 

Check hot water supply temperature. Minimum 

recommended incoming temperature to the 

dishwasher is 120ºF. 

Too little water 

Make sure water valve is fully open. Make sure that 

water pressure is between 20 and 120psi and flow 

rate is a minimum of 1.0 gpm. 

Incorrect use of dishwasher detergent 

Use only correct amount of dishwasher detergent 

according to water hardness (see page 14) and the 

wash program selected. Fill dispenser only when 

ready to start the dishwasher. Do not use old or 
caked detergent. Store dishwasher detergent in dry 

place and in a closed container. Change the 

dishwasher detergent if results are still poor. 

Spotting and filming 

Items not loaded properly 

Make sure dishwasher is loaded according to 

instructions (see page 11). Do not overload. Make 

sure spray can reach all soiled surfaces.
