Check the kitchen sink. Is 

it draining well? You may need a plumber.

clogged.

SUDS IN THE TUB

 detergents are not meant for dishwashers. USE ONLY AUTOMATIC

DISHWASHER DETERGENTS

To remove suds from the tub: Open the dishwasher. Let suds evaporate. Add 1 gallon
of cold water to the 

tub. Close and latch the dishwasher. Pump out water by slowly

turning the control dial

Repeat if necessary.

 LEAKS

Suds can cause unit to overflow. That’s why it’s so important to use a detergent that’s
designed for automatic dishwashers.

Spilling the rinse agent can cause foam during washing. This can lead to overflowing.

Wipe 

up 

 spill of rinse agent with a damp cloth.
