Is there foam or suds in the bottom of the dishwasher?

Check for foam or suds in the dishwasher. If foam or suds are detected by the dishwasher sensing system, the dishwasher may not operate properly or may not fill with water.

Suds can come from:

Using the incorrect type of detergent, such as laundry detergent, hand soap, or dish detergent for hand washing dishes.
Forgetting to replace the rinse aid dispenser cap after filling (or refilling) the rinse aid.
Using an excessive amount of dishwasher detergent.

If suds are present:

Use a plastic cup to scoop out as many suds as possible.
Remove dishes from the dishwasher and add 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable cooking oil to the bottom of the dishwasher to suppress suds.
Run a full cycle with no detergent or dishes.
Follow with a full cycle; fill dispenser cups with detergent, but do not add dishes.

Routine Cleaning

Dishwashers should be cleaned approximately every 30 days for optimal performance. Using affresh®Dishwasher Cleaner every month will help keep your dishwasher from filming and spotting and keep the interior clean and free of odors.
