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.

Turn on a faucet. Is water coming out more slowly than usual?
If so, wait until pressure is normal before using your dishwasher.

Air gap or disposer clogged Clean the air gap or flush the disposer.
High drain loop or air gap
not installed
Refer to the Installation Instructions for proper drain line
installation.
Improper rack loading Make sure large dishware does not block the detergent
dispenser or the wash arms. See the Loading section.
Poor performing detergent Use high quality detergents such as Cascade
®
Platinum™ ActionPacs™ or Finish
®
Quantum
®
Automatic Dishwashing Detergent.
Not enough detergent Add detergent. See Detergent Dispensing in the
Dispensers 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.
Low performing phosphate-
free detergent
See A white film on glassware, dishware and the
interior in this Troubleshooting Tips section.
Water temperature entering
the dishwasher exceeds
150°F
This could be etching. Lower the water heater
temperature.
A white film on
glassware, dishware
and the interior
This problem is likely
caused by a low quality
phosphate-free dishwasher
detergent
To remove the white film, run your dishes through a dishwasher
cycle with citric acid. Use a WD35X151 citric acid kit found
online. Otherwise, use high quality rinse agents such as Cascade
®
Platinum™ Dishwasher Cleaner or Finish
®
Dishwasher
Cleaner found at your local grocery store.
Pour the citric acid in the detergent cup and close the cover.
Place the filmed but otherwise clean glassware and dishware
in the dishwasher. Leave silverware and other metal items
out of the dishwasher. Turn the dishwasher on and let it run
through a complete cycle without detergent. The glassware,
dishware, and dishwasher should come out film free.
