Key functional parts changes for SHU/SHV/SHI dishwashers for softer bearing index UC/11
Key SHU/SHV/SHI dishwasher parts have been changed for the softer bearing upgrade for index # UC/11 for all models. This made the dishwashers quieter through suspending the circulation pump by flexible bands instead of mounting it onto the base. The key parts changes are shown below, including part #s and model #s parts are used on. Please note these changes to order the correct parts for each dishwasher model/index #. All other component assembly parts and part #s (drain pump, circulation pump impeller, circulation pump motor capacitor, water inlet valve, NTC, base, etc.) are the same as before.

Using # 264946 Front Cover to Replace Broken # 266746, # 263832 or # 264461 Control Module Buttons # 266746, # 263832 or # 264461 control modules are often replaced when buttons break, not for electronic failures. Replacing the # 264946 front cover when buttons break instead of replacing the entire control module will save customers time and money.
NOTE: The # 264946 front cover fits on all three modules - the # 266746, # 263832 and # 264461.

266746, 263832 or 264461 264946


Broken control module buttons occur when tabs on front cover break. Use plastic front cover when replacing broken buttons.

Top of front cover Top tab

Bottom of front cover

Note cracks in plastic locking tabs.

CAUTION: Insert display module board carefully to prevent breaking spring locking tabs on front cover. When installing display module, carefully slide top of board into top of front cover, making sure board is fully seated into tabs. Then, carefully rotate bottom of board into position so spring locking tabs spring back and lock without cracking or breaking. DO NOT FORCE bottom or top of display board into position. NOTE: The # 264946 front cover has a short lead time while control modules have long four month lead times (from Germany). Using the cover to replace broken buttons will avoid delays in obtaining parts. HINT: Use the # 264946 front cover instead of replacing an older 263832 module with a 266746 module to save customers time and money. Many 263832 modules have been replaced merely for broken buttons.

HINT: When customers report broken buttons on their dishwashers, the cause is almost always broken tabs on the front cover. The white or black buttons on the fascia panel and the control module keypad rarely fail.

CAUTION: Some pc board components are sensitive to static electricity and can be damaged by personnel through touch or close proximity. Personnel handling pc boards should be grounded. NOTE: To determine which control module you have, check the model #s on the following list: 266746 -- SHU 5302/5304/5305/5306/5312/5314/5315/5316/6802/6805/6806 UC 11 - UC/12, SHU 5307/5317 UC/12 and SHI 6802/6805/6806 UC/11 - UC/12. 263832 -- SHU 5302/5304/5305/5306/5312/5314/5315/5316/6802/6805/6806 UC 06 and SHI 6802/6805/6806 UC/06. 264461 -- SHU 4302/4306/4312/4316 UC 06 - UC/11 - UC/12 and SHI 4302/4306 UC/06 - UC/11 - UC/12.

Soldering # 266746, 263832 or 264461 Control Modules for SHU/I 43/53/68 & GM 915-710 Dishwashers (excepting SHU 4322/4326)

Occasionally, a heater relay terminal soldered to a # 266746, 263832 or 264461 control module pc board can burn. Heater relays can be resoldered to save customers time and money. Please follow these instructions carefully when resoldering a heater relay terminal.
CAUTION:
Do not overheat solder joint -- pc board can be damaged by excessive heat. Make sure soldering iron is fully heated before soldering and keep heating time as short as possible. Use rosin core 60/40 solder when soldering pc boards as acid core can etch pc boards. Do NOT resolder if relay terminal or pc board is damaged -- replace entire control module. To avoid overheating pc board, use a moderately sized soldering iron (~ 25W).

Good board -- showing proper soldering on back of pc board.

Burned board -- showing burned terminal on back of pc board.

HINT:

Soldering irons give superior results compared to soldering guns - using an iron with a small tip (~ 25W) reduces possibility of damaging pc board.

CAUTION: Some pc board components are sensitive to


static electricity and can be damaged by personnel through touch or close proximity. Personnel handling pc boards should be grounded.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Carefully clean burned terminal with a small piece of extra fine sandpaper, taking care not to scratch pc board. Use an iron with a small tip. Heat soldering iron up to temperature. Coat tip with small amount of solder. Using rosin core 60/40 solder, hold tip of hot iron to terminal and briefly touch terminal with solder. Dont use excessive amount of solder to avoid damaging pc board. Pull iron from terminal and let solder joint cool. Inspect solder joint -- a good solder joint should be shiny, not dull. If solder joint is dull, carefully resolder. If joint is sound, carefully clean finished joint with a clean cloth. Carefully remove any lint from pc board. Reinstall pc board to control module, then reinstall control module to dishwasher. Check dishwasher and make sure it operates properly, including how it heats. Wednesday, May 9, 2001

HINT: The heater relay is the largest of three relays in the center of the pc board & can be one of two colors:

2. 3.

Orange

4. 5. 6.

Black

SHU/SHI/SHV Dishwasher Quick Check Chart


Use this chart to quickly identify problems from front of dishwasher without removing it. For a complete troubleshooting chart when symptoms are known, please refer to the SHU/SHI/SHV Dishwasher Troubleshooting Chart.
NOTE: Use a multimeter with temperature, voltage/resistance and current (ampere) probes. Do all resistance checks with power turned off. Identify each wire color and location at the control module before looking at this chart. For a quick reference for measuring resistances from the front of the dishwasher, please refer to the one page diagram Measuring Resistances from the Front of any SHU or SHI Dishwasher. To access wire harnesses, open door and remove outer door panel (by removing three T20 Torx screws on each side of inner door, starting from bottom -- the top six screws hold the fascia panel to the door). Once screws are out, close door, lift outer door panel up and pull bottom of panel out door panel will drop out. Please see schematic diagram #36 for SHU/I 43/53/68 model dishwashers and diagram #48 for SHV 43/48 model dishwashers in the Major Appliance Technical Manual. An "F" fault code in the display for SHU/I 53/68 dishwashers shows there's a filling problem (not filling, overfilling, underfilling or water in the base). The fault code can't be reset manually it will reset itself 15 minutes after the dishwasher has been turned on (after testing how it fills).

NOTE:

NOTE:

NOTE:

To check
Water valve

Measure
Resistance through water valve terminals ( 1000 ). Lift plastic terminal cover and measure resistance through drain motor terminals ( 16.5 ).
HINT: Locking type terminals are used push a small (#1) blade screwdriver into each terminal notch and slide terminal off at same time. HINT: Start test program, start any wash cycle or reset dishwasher to run drain motor -- see if water drains.

If yes
Valve may be OK more testing may be needed. Drain motor may be OK more testing may be needed.

If no
Turn off dishwasher and replace water valve. Turn off dishwasher and replace drain motor.

Drain motor

HINT: The drain motor is not a bilge pump it won't remove water from the dishwasher base.

SHU/SHI/SHV Dishwasher Quick Check Chart


To check
Heater / flow switch / HiLimit thermostat o (185 F)

Measure
Current through hot wire into dishwasher should be 10.5-11 A (amps).
HINT: The resistance of heater is 11 , Hi-Limit thermostat is .3 & flow switch is .4 . To measure flow switch resistance, remove microswitch & close its contacts. HINT: The NTC and Hi-Limit o (185 F thermostat) are changed as a unit. Must pull out dishwasher and remove or block up tub to replace it.

If yes
Heater/flow switch/HiLimit thermostat are OK.

If no
Test each part, turn off dishwasher and replace defective part.

HINT: Don't pull out dishwasher and remove tub for initial checking only when you're certain one of these parts has failed. HINT: Start test program (SHU/I models) and skip "draining" and "Aqua Sensor Calibration" until water has finished filling. When heater comes on, measure current. Skip "heating & circulating" once you've measured current to save time.

HINT: Must pull out dishwasher and remove or tilt/block up tub to replace parts. Bring all three parts before disassembling dishwasher and test each part separately. HINT: The Hi-Limit o thermostat (185 F) is a bimetal self-resetting thermostat.

NTC (temperature probe)

At control module, measure resistance between two brown wires at left of right harness ( 55 k at room temperature (72oF)).

NTC probably is OK.

Turn off dishwasher and replace NTC.

To check
Float switch (cont.).

Measure
HINT: Any debris (e.g. a cable tie) in dishwasher base can move under float and turn on float switch. Clean all debris from dishwasher base.

If yes

If no
HINT: Must pull out dishwasher and remove left side panel to access float switch.

Aqua sensor
(SHU 53-- & 68only)

Find three brown wires at far right of control module. Measure resistance between middle wire and left (preferred) or right wire ( 1 M).
HINT: Don't check this unless customer has brought up long wash times (and has measured them). The sensor checks water clarity and adds a wash/rinse cycle only when the rinse water is still dirty.

Sensor may be OK.

Turn off dishwasher and replace sensor.

HINT: The aqua sensor does not affect washability and should not be replaced (unless a leak has occurred around it).

HINT: Can also measure resistance between inner terminal (light) and either outer terminal (sensor) of sensor itself. HINT: Due to nature of sensor, resistance readings can be inconsistent.

HINT: Must pull out dishwasher and remove left side panel to access sensor (for measuring or replacing). Sensor can be pulled out of sensor assembly at rear of sump.

Circulation motor

At control module, measure resistance (SHU/I models) between white/red wire st on 1 harness from left nd & 2 blue wire from th right on 4 harness from left ( 10 ).
HINT: For SHV models, measure between white/red nd wire at left of 2 harness & th white wire at middle of 4 harness.

Circulation motor may be OK more testing may be needed (if debris entered impeller).

Turn off dishwasher and replace circulation motor.

HINT: Debris can get in if filter basket wasn't properly screwed in and locked. Don't remove motor to clean impeller remove filter basket/screen and reach through right side of sump into impeller.

HINT: Must pull out dishwasher and remove or tilt/block up tub to remove or replace motor do so only if certain motor has failed or impeller is jammed with debris.

Detergent dispenser actuator Top rack only actuator (SHU/I 68-& SHV 48-models only).

Resistance through "wax" motor terminals ( 2150 ). At control module, measure resistance (SHU/I models) between white wires of rd 3 harness (from left) - ( 2150 ).

Actuator motor may be OK more testing may be needed. Actuator motor may be OK more testing may be needed.
HINT: For SHV models, measure between white/red nd wire at left of 2 harness & th white wire at middle of 4 harness.

Turn off dishwasher and replace actuator "wax" motor. Turn off dishwasher and replace actuator "wax" motor.

SHU/SHI/SHV Dishwasher Quick Check Chart


To check
Control module

Measure
Run test program (SHU/I models) and check if indicator lights/displays come on and all buttons click (and resist a bit when pressed). At control module, measure resistance between two yellow nd wires (2 harness from right) -- ( .4 ).

If yes
Module may be OK more testing may be needed.

If no
Go to troubleshooting chart and check whether module or another part is faulty.

Rinse aid dispenser level switch


(SHU 53/68 & SHV 48 models only)

Level switch probably is OK.

Check to see if rinse aid dispenser is empty. If not, turn off dishwasher and replace level switch.

NOTE: NOTE: NOTE:

The following parts can't be serviced from the front of the dishwasher (the dishwasher must be pulled out and the tank removed or tilted/blocked up to replace them): Heater Circulation motor Aqua sensor ("Sensotronic") NTC (temperature probe)/Hi-Limit (185oF) thermostat You will need a T20 Torx screwdriver and may need #1/ #2 flat blade screwdrivers and a pair of needlenose pliers. Many parts can be snapped out without using tools. On SHU/I 43/53/68 models, run test program to identify dishwasher problems (please see page F-1). The test can run more than one hour (to get temperature up to 150oF), but tests can be cancelled to greatly shorten testing time. The test program allows draining, filling, circulating and heating to be checked more quickly than running a standard wash cycle. To use test program for troubleshooting, measure voltages/currents as parts come on. For example, run heating test and measure current coming into dishwasher if current 11A, Hi-Limit, heater and flow switch are OK. If not, check each part to see which one failed. This test saves time since you can't get to these parts without removing the tank and can't run resistance checks from front of dishwasher because flow switch stays open. Please see page B-1 on using test program to troubleshoot heater, flow switch and Hi-Limit.

NOTE: For minor problems from improper usage or lack of maintenance, please refer customer to the Self-Help chart in their Use and Care Manual. Problem
Washability problems (dishwasher won't clean properly)

Possible Cause
Inappropriate dishwasher detergent used. Blocked or clogged upper/ lower spray arms. Water doesn't circulate properly due to debris in circulation motor impeller.

Suggested Action
Instruct customer to use a powdered dishwasher detergent (e.g. Cascade powder). Check spray arms clean or replace as needed. Twist and remove filter, then remove debris from right side of sump where water enters circulation pump impeller. If debris has jammed impeller, turn off and pull out dishwasher, remove tank, remove circulation motor and unscrew and clean out impeller.
HINT: If impeller is damaged, replace entire impeller assembly or it won't seal adequately.

Filter not locked down securely, allowing debris to enter sump.


CAUTION: Use caution when removing debris from sump to avoid being cut by sharp debris such as aluminum can tabs or broken glass.

Twist and remove filter, then remove debris from sump. Instruct customer to twist and lock filter (cylinder) securely into sump.
HINT: Due to high temperature rinse (161 F) breaking down food debris and triple filtering system trapping food debris, filters shouldn't normally clog up. Problem often caused by filter not being securely locked down. Instruct customer to twist and lock filter (cylinder) securely into dishwasher sump.
o

HINT: Water level will not affect washability as water fill is measured by pressure, not time water level cannot be adjusted.

Drain hose behind dishwasher doesn't have an adequate loop. Partially clogged air gap, allowing wastewater from prior washes to circulate in dishwasher. Water doesn't drain properly Soap doesn't enter dishwasher due to dispenser actuator (A 2) failure.

Loop drain hose behind the dishwasher (with the top of the loop) at least 20" above the floor. Unclog sink air gap.
NOTE: Cleaning sink air gaps is not covered under warranty.

NOTE: HINT: NOTE: NOTE: You will need a T20 Torx screwdriver and may need #1/ #2 flat blade screwdrivers and a pair of needlenose pliers. Many parts can be snapped out without using tools. Symbols for parts (e.g. " f3" or " e6 " ) refer to schematic diagram #36 on page E-1 and #48 on page E-2. The following parts can't be serviced from the front of the dishwasher (the dishwasher must be pulled out and the tank removed or tilted/blocked up to replace them): Heater Circulation motor Aqua sensor ("Sensotronic") NTC (temperature probe)/Hi-Limit (185oF) thermostat On SHU/I 43/53/68 models, run test program to identify dishwasher problems (see test program guide on page F-1). The test can run more than one hour (to get temperature up to 150oF), but tests can be cancelled to greatly shorten testing time. The test program allows draining, filling, circulating and heating to be checked more quickly than running a standard wash cycle. To use test program for troubleshooting, measure voltages/currents as parts come on. For example, run heating test and measure current coming into dishwasher if current 11A, Hi-Limit, heater and flow switch are OK. If not, check each part to see which one failed. This test saves time since you can't get to these parts without removing the tank and can't run resistance checks from front of dishwasher because flow switch stays open. Please see page B-1 on using test program to troubleshoot heater, flow switch and Hi-Limit. NOTE: To cancel/drain dishwasher while it's cycling, press and hold the following buttons (until dishwasher starts to drain):

If water level switch (f 1 ) has failed (opened), display will show fault code "4" and unit will continually fill and drain where testing won't be completed. If flow switch (e 5 ) has failed (opened), display will show "0", water won't heat (to 150 F) and water wont stop circulating. If NTC probe (f 2 / f 4 ) has failed (opened), display will show fault code "8" immediately and testing will end shortly after water has started circulating.

Using Dishwasher Serial Number to find Date of Manufacture


The dishwasher serial number can be used to check if the dishwasher is covered under warranty and to check for product changes.
NOTE: NOTE: NOTE: Best way to confirm warranty status is to have customer show paperwork with installation date. Whenever possible, keep a file of customers and installation dates. Serial number is stamped or fastened to inside edge (top or right side) of door and to dishwasher base (behind toe kick). Serial number format (shown in smaller print underneath model number) is shown as FD xxxx xx xxxx, where number means:

FD
FD

XX
Shows year dishwasher was built.
HINT: Add "20" to this number to find year of manufacture.

XX
Shows month dishwasher was built.
HINT: This is the number of the month (from 1-12).

XX
Shows day dishwasher was built.

XXXX
Shows specific serial number for this dishwasher.
HINT: These numbers are sequential for all dishwashers built on each day.

77 + 20 = 1997 78 + 20 = 1998 79 + 20 = 1999

01 = January 02 = February 12 = December

01 = 1 day of month 30 = 30 day of month


th

st

0142 = 142 dishwasher built on particular day of manufacture.

nd

NOTE: NOTE:

To remove toe kick you will need a T20 Torx screwdriver. The number after "/" in the model number (e.g. U06) shows an engineering (product) change.

Scald Hazard To avoid being scalded, do not perform any work on a charged hot water line. Serious injury could result. Only qualified plumbers should perform plumbing work. Do not attempt any work on the dishwasher hot water supply plumbing until you are certain the hot water supply is shut off.

Figure 6

Temperatures required for soldering and sweating will damage the dishwashers base and water inlet valve. If plumbing lines are to be soldered or sweated, keep the heat source at least 6 inches (152.4 mm) away from the dishwashers base and water inlet valve. Hot Water Supply The hot water heater should be set to deliver approximately 120 F (49 C) water to the dishwasher. Water that is too hot can cause some detergents to lose effectiveness. Lower water temperatures will increase run times. The hot water supply pressure must be between 15 - 145 psi (1 - 10 bar). Hot Water Supply Plumbing Install an easily accessible shut-off valve (not supplied) in the hot water supply line, as shown in Figure 6. All solder connections must be made before the water line is connected to the dishwashers water inlet valve. Water may also be supplied to the dishwasher by using a stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use. Check with your local plumbing supply sources for the proper hose and 90 elbow fitting. NOTE: Regardless of where the hot water supply line enters the enclosure, position the line 14 (356mm) from the enclosures left side, as shown in Figure 6. NOTE: Decide whether stainless steel braided hose approved for dishwasher use or copper tubing will be used for the hot water supply plumbing, and purchase the correct type of hot water supply shut-off valve, 90 elbow, and necessary fittings for the hot water supply plumbing.

Step 1

Before installing the supplied countertop mounting brackets, decide which method of securing the dishwasher into its enclosure will be used. Once the mounting brackets are installed on the dishwasher, removing them is difficult and will damage the mounting brackets and the dishwasher. The dishwasher can be secured into its enclosure in two ways: 1 Top Mount is used for countertops made of wood or other materials that can easily drilled. Orient the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 10, and position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on the dishwashers front corners. Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots. 2 Side Mount is used for countertops made of marble, granite, or other very hard materials that cannot be easily drilled. Bend the mounting brackets along the small holes and in the same direction as the two small tabs. Orient the mounting brackets as shown in Figure 11, and position the two small tabs on the mounting brackets over the two slots on the dishwashers front corners. Push the mounting brackets down firmly to insert the tabs into the slots.

Important Safety Instructions

WARNING
Misuse of the dishwasher can result in serious injury or death. Do not use the dishwasher in any way not covered in this manual or for any purpose other than those explained on the following pages.

WARNING
Severe product damage and/or injury could result from the use of unqualified service technicians or non-original replacement parts. All repairs must be performed by a qualified service technician using only original equipment factory replacement parts.

Never use steam cleaning product to clean your dishwasher. The manufacturer will not be liable for possible damages or consequences.

CAUTION
Never use harsh chemicals to clean your dishwasher. Some chloride-containing cleaning products can damage your dishwasher and may present health hazards! Use this dishwasher only for its intended function, which is the washing of household dishware and kitchenware. This dishwasher is provided with a manual set which includes Installation Instructions and Use and Care Manual. Read and understand all instructions before using the dishwasher. Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for use in a dishwasher, and keep them out of the reach of childen. When loading items to be washed: - Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. - Load knives and other sharp utensils with their HANDLES UP to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries. Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked dishwasher safe or the equivalent.

For plastic items not so marked, check the manufacturers recommendations. Do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are in place. Do not tamper with or override controls and interlocks. Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish racks of the dishwasher. To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is explosive. Before using a dishwasher that is connected to a hot water system that has been unused for two weeks or longer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is explosive, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time. Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding. To avoid floor damage and possible mold growth, do not allow wet areas to remain around or under the dishwasher. Protect your dishwasher from the elements. Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered by the warranty.

WARNING
Electrical shock could result if the electrical supply for the dishwasher covered in this manual is incorrectly installed or if the dishwasher has been improperly grounded. Do not use the dishwasher covered in this manual if you are not certain the electrical supply has been correctly installed or the dishwasher has been properly grounded.

Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent


Detergent
To avoid dishwasher damage, do not use hand dishwashing products in your dishwasher. Use only detergent specifically designed for dishwashers. For best results, use fresh powdered dishwashing detergent. This dishwasher uses less water so you need to use less detergent. With soft water, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of detergent will clean most loads. The detergent dispenser cup has lines that measure detergent to 1 tablespoon (15ml) and 1.75 tablespoons (25ml). 3.5 tablespoons (45ml) of detergent will completely fill the detergent dispenser cup.

Operating the Dishwasher


Selecting the Proper Wash Cycle
Items with baked-on or hard, dried-on soiling will require either Power Scrub Plus or possibly soaking and hand-scouring. The Regular Wash cycle will thoroughly clean large loads having loosely attached normal soiling. The Rinse and Hold cycle will allow you to keep a small load in your dishwasher until you have enough items for a full load.

Interrupting a Cycle
NOTE: Should you need to interrupt a cycle (to add or remove an item, to add detergent, etc.), it is best to do so within the first 30 minutes of the cycle.
Press the On/Off button.

WARNING
You could be seriously scalded if you open the dishwasher door quickly during a wash or rinse cycle. Do not fully open the dishwasher door for at least 10 seconds or until water noises stop. Wait at least ten seconds or until water noises stop before opening the dishwasher door. To resume the cycle, press the On/Off button and shut the dishwasher door.

To avoid damage to delicate or heirloom items do not wash them in your dishwasher. For delicate or heirloom dishware and silverware, or other special items, select Delicate/Econo after referring to the Materials section of this manual. Hand-washing may be the best treatment of such items. More information on dishwasher cycles is in the Wash Cycle Information section of this manual.

Canceling or Changing a Cycle


To cancel or change a cycle, press and hold for three seconds the two buttons labeled Cancel Drain as shown in Figure 26.

Self Help
Dishwashers may occasionally exhibit problems that are unrelated to a malfunction of the dishwasher itself. The following information may help you with a dishwasher problem without your having to call a repair person. Dishes do not dry The rinse agent dispenser may be empty. Check the rinse-aid dispenser and refill it if necessary. Dishware drying can be accelerated and enhanced by opening the dishwasher door slightly and propping it open with the top rack. Indicator light(s) do not come on A fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped. Check the fuse or circuit breaker at your fuse box/breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary. Dishwasher does not start The dishwasher door may not be properly shut. Make certain the dishwasher door is shut and latched. Dishwasher runs a long time If the dishwasher completes the cycle, but the run time seems exceptionally long, it may be due to cold incoming water. Before starting the dishwasher, open the hot water faucet at the sink nearest the dishwasher. Run the water until it runs hot, then turn off the water and start the dishwasher. Machine cycle does not advance to rinse NOTE: The Installation Manual that came with your Bosch dishwasher will help you with the following instructions. The water supply line may be shut off. Check the water supply valve and open it if its shut. White spots left on dishes More rinse agent is needed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on increasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed. Water not pumped from dishwasher Make certain the drain hose isnt kinked, clogged, or improperly installed. Make certain a portion of the drain hose is at least 20 inches above the dishwashers enclosure floor (see the Installation Manual). Filters may be clogged. Make certain the filter system isnt clogged (see the Care and Maintenance section of this manual). The kitchen sink drain may be clogged; you may need a plumber rather than a serviceman for the dishwasher. If an air gap is installed at sink, it may be clogged. Detergent dispenser cover will not shut You may not be correctly shutting the detergent dispenser cover, or a cycle was not finished and should be cancelled. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on shutting the detergent dispenser cover. Go to the Operating the Dishwasher section of this manual for instructions on canceling a cycle. Streaks on glassware Too much rinse agent is being dispensed. Go to the Adding Detergent and Rinse Agent section of this manual for instructions on decreasing the amount of rinse agent dispensed. Rattling noises Utensils may not be properly arranged. Suds in dishwasher You may have used the wrong type of dishwashing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher detergents. Unsatisfactory washing results Incorrect amount of detergent.
