Frequently asked questions-

Q1: Why don’t my dishes dry completely?

A: This model uses a condensation drying system that relies on heat from the final rinse to evaporate moisture, which then condenses on the stainless steel tub. To improve drying results: use a rinse aid, select the “Temp Boost” option, and keep the door closed briefly after the cycle ends.

Q2: Why isn’t my dishwasher draining properly?

A: Draining issues are usually caused by blockages. Clean the Piranha hard food disposer filter, check that the air gap is clear, inspect the drain hose for clogs or kinks, and ensure the drain pump is functioning correctly.

Q3: Why won’t my dishwasher start?

A: Make sure the door is securely latched, as a blinking “Start” light can indicate it wasn’t closed properly. Also, check that the power supply is on, the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped, and a wash cycle has been selected.

Q4: Why is my dishwasher not cleaning dishes well?

A: Ensure dishes are loaded correctly without blocking wash arms, use the correct detergent, and confirm the incoming water temperature is at least 120°F for optimal cleaning results.

Q5: What is the Autosense Cycle?

A: Autosense uses a light beam to detect soil levels and water temperature, then automatically adjusts cycle time and water usage for the best wash performance.

Q6: Does this model have a heating element for drying?

A: No, it uses a condensation drying system instead of a heating element. Using a rinse aid is recommended for better drying results.

Q7: What are the custom panel requirements?

A: The dishwasher accepts a custom panel measuring 23.75 inches wide and 26.25 to 30.625 inches high. The required hardware and template are included.

Q8: How do I reset the dishwasher?

A: Disconnect power for 30 seconds to perform a hard reset. If your model has a “Reset” button under the kick panel, you can use that as an alternative.
