E. CHECK OPERATION
1. Read the Owner’s Manual that came with your dishwasher.
2. Check that all parts have been installed and no steps were skipped. Check that you have
all the tools you used.
3. At fuse box or circuit breaker, turn on electrical power supply to dishwasher. Start
dishwasher and allow it to complete the shortest wash cycle. After the first two minutes,
unlatch door, wait five seconds, then open door. Check to see that there is water in the
bottom of the dishwasher and that there are no water leaks.
4. Check that grounding clip “A” is attached to the lower
panel. Place the lower panel “B” behind the access panel
“C”. Some models have insulation “D” on the access
panel which must fall behind the insulation “E” on the
lower panel. Hold the two panels together and place
them against dishwasher leg. Reinstall the screws
through the holes in the access panel and the slots in the
lower panel. Install right side screw first. Check that the
lower edge of the lower panel contacts the floor. Tighten
the screws.
If Dishwasher Does Not Operate:
– Has the circuit breaker tripped or the house fuse blown?
- Is the door closed tightly and latched?
- Has the cycle been set correctly to start the dishwasher?
- Is the water turned on?
