PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE AND REMEDY

WATER CANT

PUMPOUT

Some state or local plumbing codes require the use of a drain air

gap between a built-in dishwasher and the drain system of the home.

This plumbing device is not part of the dishwasher. The air gap usually

located on top of the sink or countertop near the dishwasher is to

prevent the possibility of backflow into the dishwasher in the event

of a clogged drain system.

THE DISHWASHER WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER SERVICE

COST TO CLEAN OR REPAIR A DRAIN AIR GAR

Most air gaps are simple to inspect and to clean when necessary.

Most models can be cleaned by lifting off a chrome cover and un

screwing a plastic cap and then removing any material that may have

accumulated. This procedure should be followed any time the dish

washer fails to drain properly.

AIR GAP

COUNTERTOP MOUNTED

SUDS IN TUB

Use of high-sudsing detergent. Use only automatic dishwasher deter

gents. To remove suds from tub: open dishwasher and allow suds to

dissipate. Add 1 gallon of cold water to tub and close dishwasher. Pump

out water by slowly turning the control dial until a drain period is reached.

DISHWASHER LEAKS

Use of detergent not designed for automatic dishwashers, especially

sudsing type. Unnecessary use of wetting agent. See page 7.
