GE MONOGRAM ZBD6880 (01) PDF MANUAL

You can locate your model and serial numbers on the tub wall just inside the door. It’s recommended to write these numbers down for future reference, especially before sending in any registration card or when corresponding about your dishwasher.

If you received a damaged dishwasher, you should immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the dishwasher.

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system, including the dishwasher. This procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

The dishwasher must be properly installed and located according to the Installation Instructions. It should be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or have an equipment-grounding conductor run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-grounding terminal or lead of the appliance. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service representative if you are in doubt whether the appliance is properly grounded.

Dispose of discarded appliances and shipping or packing material properly, following recommended safety procedures.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your dishwasher unless it is specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

To minimize the possibility of electric shock, disconnect this appliance from the power supply before attempting any maintenance. NOTE: Turning the dishwasher off using the controls does not disconnect the appliance from the power supply. It’s recommended to have a qualified technician service your appliance.

Contents washed in Anti-bacterial mode, if available, may be hot to the touch. Use care before handling.

Using a detergent that is not specifically designed for dishwashers will cause the dishwasher to fill with suds. During operation, these suds can spill out, covering the kitchen floor and making it wet. While this won’t cause lasting damage, your dishes won’t get clean. Always use automatic dishwasher detergent.

If your dishwasher is connected to a wall switch, ensure that the switch is on prior to use. On dishwashers with electronic controls, if you choose to turn the wall switch off between wash cycles, allow 5–10 seconds after turning the switch on before touching START/RESET to allow the control to initialize.

Do not wash items such as electronic air cleaner filters, furnace filters, and paint brushes in your dishwasher. Damage to the dishwasher and discoloration or staining may result.

Load light, plastic items so they will not become dislodged and drop to the bottom of the dishwasher. They might come into contact with the heating element and could be damaged.

Junked or abandoned dishwashers can be dangerous. If you are getting rid of your old dishwasher, take off the door of the washing compartment or remove the door latch keeper (as shown in the manual’s diagram) to help prevent accidents.

Use only powder, tabs, liquid detergents, or rinse agents recommended for use in a dishwasher. Keep them out of the reach of children. Cascade®, Cascade® Complete, and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents, along with Jet-Dry® and Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agents, have been approved for use in all GE dishwashers.

Locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal. Load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.

Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwasher safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not marked as such, check the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Do not touch the heating element during or immediately after use, as it can be hot.

No, do not operate your dishwasher unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.

No, do not tamper with the dishwasher controls.

No, do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.

Do not allow children to play around the dishwasher when opening or closing the door due to the possibility of small fingers being pinched. Close supervision is necessary if the appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children to play with, on, or inside this appliance or any discarded appliance.

No, do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Use the arrow pads (▲/▼) to scroll through the available wash cycles. The indicator light above or next to the selected pad will illuminate to show which WASH CYCLE has been selected.

This cycle raises the water temperature in the final rinse to sanitize your dishware. It meets NSF Standard 184 for Sanitization and Cleaning performance. Cycle length varies depending on inlet water temperature and soil level (Heavy: 9.1 gallons, 95 min; Medium: 7.8 gallons, 95 min; Light: 6.5 gallons, 90 min). NOTE: If the cycle is interrupted or if incoming water is too cold, sanitizing conditions may not be met, and the SANITIZED light might not illuminate. This cycle is not intended for licensed food establishments.

This cycle is designed for heavily soiled dishes or cookware with dried-on or baked-on soils. It may not remove burned-on foods. Everyday dishes are safe in this cycle. Water usage and time vary by soil level (Heavy: 10.4 gallons, 80 min; Medium: 9.1 gallons, 90 min; Light: 7.8 gallons, 100 min).

This cycle is intended for medium/heavily soiled dishes and glassware. Water usage and time vary by soil level (Heavy: 8.75 gallons, 70 min; Medium: 6.25 gallons, 60 min; Light: 5 gallons, 55 min).

This cycle is for everyday dishes and glassware, taking approximately 37 minutes and using 7.8 gallons of water.

This cycle is for lightly soiled china and crystal. It uses 7.8 gallons of water and takes approximately 50 minutes.

This cycle is specifically designed for glasses. It uses 7.8 gallons of water and takes approximately 50 minutes.

This cycle is specifically designed to reduce the risk of melting plastic items and improve drying for dishwasher-safe plastics. Water usage and time vary by soil level (Heavy: 7.8 gallons, 70 min; Medium: 6.5 gallons, 60 min; Light: 5.2 gallons, 55 min).

This cycle is for rinsing partial loads that will be washed later. Do not use detergent with this cycle. Water usage and time vary by soil level (Heavy: 2.6 gallons, 10 min; Light: 1.3 gallons, 5 min). Options like Added Heat, Pre Wash, and Heated Dry cannot be selected with Rinse Only.

This option allows you to delay the start time of any wash cycle for up to 8 or 24 hours (depending on model). 1. Press the DELAY START pad repeatedly or continuously to set the desired number of delay hours. 2. Press START/RESET. 3. Close the door. The machine will count down and start automatically at the set time. To cancel DELAY START before the cycle begins, press the DELAY START pad until the display is blank. Pressing START/RESET will *not* cancel delay hours once set.

When selected, the cycle will run longer with the heating element on to improve both wash and dry performance. This option cannot be selected with the RINSE ONLY cycle.

Use this option for heavily soiled and/or dried-on, baked-on soils. It must be selected PRIOR to starting the cycle and adds 16 minutes to the cycle time. This option cannot be selected with the RINSE ONLY cycle.

When selected, Heated Dry turns the drying heater and fan on for fast drying. This option extends the cycle time by: * 30 minutes for ANTI-BACTERIAL cycle * 38 minutes for NORMAL and COOKWARE cycles * 8 minutes for SPEED cycle * 15 minutes for PLASTICS cycle * 30 minutes for all other cycles When Heated Dry is NOT selected, the fan will turn on for 4 hours to dry dishes without added heat, saving energy. This option cannot be selected with the RINSE ONLY cycle.

You can lock the controls to prevent selections from being made, either before or after starting a cycle. This prevents children from accidentally starting the dishwasher. * **To lock:** Press and hold the HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. The LOCK light will turn on. * **To unlock:** Press and hold the HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. The LOCK light will turn off.

The Status display shows the progress of the dishwasher cycle (indicators vary by model): * **SENSING:** Displayed while the ExtraClean™ Sensor measures soil and water temperature, adjusting the cycle for optimal performance. * **ADD-A-DISH (on some models):** Displayed during prewash, indicating that dishes added now will still be cleaned. * **WASHING:** Displayed during prewash, main wash, and rinse periods. * **DRYING:** Displayed during HEATED DRY. * **SANITIZED:** Displayed when the cycle has met sanitization conditions (for Anti-Bacterial cycle). * **CLEAN:** Displayed when a wash cycle and enhancements are complete.

During operation, the display shows the estimated minutes remaining until the cycle is complete. The time may adjust while the Sensing light is on as the dishwasher customizes the cycle. During a delay start, it shows the hours remaining until the cycle begins.

* **To Start:** After selecting the cycle and options, press the START/RESET pad once. Close the door to start the cycle or begin the Delay Start countdown. Water fill begins, followed by wash action about 60 seconds later. The dishwasher remembers your last cycle settings, so you can just press START/RESET and close the door if you don’t want to change them. * **To Interrupt:** If the START/RESET light is flashing, the cycle has been interrupted. The light stops flashing after the dishwasher automatically pumps out water (approx. 70 seconds). Close the door to allow pumping. Once the light stops flashing, the dishwasher can be reprogrammed and restarted. * **To Reset/Cancel:** Open the door slowly. Press the START/RESET pad to cancel the cycle. Close the door. The dishwasher will pump out water and turn off after about 70 seconds. * **After Power Failure:** If a power failure occurs, NORMAL and HEATED DRY will be automatically programmed. Make any desired selections and press START/RESET to begin the new cycle.

The CLEAN light illuminates (and a double beep sounds, if enabled) when the selected cycle and enhancements are complete. Dishes can be removed anytime after this. The high-efficiency fan may continue to run quietly for 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on cycle) after the CLEAN light comes on to aid drying. Opening the door and pressing any keypad stops the fan.

To turn the double beep indicator off (or re-activate it), press the HEATED DRY pad 5 times within 3 seconds. A triple beep will sound to confirm the change.

The interior Xenon lights turn on when the door is opened and turn off when it’s latched, providing better visibility for loading/unloading. If the door remains unlatched for 15 minutes, the lights turn off automatically. To turn them back on, latch and then open the door. Do not attempt to replace these bulbs yourself; contact service if replacement is needed.

Located on the right side of the dishwasher above the handle, this light turns on when the selected cycle is complete. It stays on until the door is opened. Dishes can be removed anytime. Note that the high-efficiency fan may run quietly for 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on cycle) after this light comes on to continue drying. Opening the door and pressing any keypad stops the fan.

The entering water must be at least 120°F (49°C) and not more than 150°F (66°C) for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage.

Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass, and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

A rinse agent improves dry performance, reduces spots, and prevents new film buildup on dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware, and plastic. Jet-Dry® and Cascade Crystal Clear® are recommended rinse agents.

1. Make sure the dishwasher door is fully open. 2. Rotate the dispenser cap counterclockwise and lift it out. 3. Add rinse agent until the indicator window shows full (capacity is 3.5 oz., lasts about one month). Do not overfill. 4. Clean up any spilled rinse agent with a damp cloth. 5. Replace the dispenser cap.

The factory setting is at the midpoint. If you see rings of calcium (hard water) spots, try a higher setting. If you see foaming, use a lower setting. To adjust: 1. Remove the dispenser cap. 2. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise to increase the amount of rinse agent or clockwise to decrease the amount.

* No prerinsing of normal food soil is required. * Scrape off hard soils, bones, toothpicks, skins, and seeds. * Remove large quantities of any remaining food. * Remove leafy vegetables, meat trimmings, and excessive amounts of grease or oil.

Yes, a forgotten dish can be added any time before the main wash starts. 1. Open the door slightly to stop the water spray action (steam may rise). 2. Wait until the action stops. 3. Add the forgotten dish(es). 4. Close the door securely. The cycle will resume. (Note: On models with ADD-A-DISH light, this indicates when it’s safe to add dishes).

Use only detergent specifically made for use in automatic dishwashers. Cascade®, Cascade Complete®, and Electrasol® Automatic Dishwashing Detergents are approved. Do not use hand dish detergent. Keep powdered detergent fresh and dry; don’t put it in the dispenser until you are ready to wash. Store dishwasher detergent separately from other cleaners.

The amount depends on your water hardness and soil level. Contact your water department to find out your water hardness (measured in Grains Per Gallon – GPG). Use the indicator lines in the main wash cup as a guide: * **Soft water (less than 4 GPG):** Fill to the first line. * **Medium soft water (4-8 GPG):** Fill to the second line. * **Medium hard water (8–12 GPG):** Fill the main wash cup completely. * **Extremely hard water (more than 12 GPG):** Fill both the main wash and pre-wash cups completely. A water softener is recommended for water harder than 12 GPG. Use slightly more detergent for high food soil. Use slightly less detergent if your water temperature is greater than 140°F (60°C). Too much detergent with soft water can cause etching (permanent cloudiness) on glassware.

Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the main wash section and, if needed based on water hardness, the pre-wash section. Close the dispenser cover and make sure it is latched securely. Add detergent just before starting the wash cycle.

* **With Heated Dry selected:** The fan runs during the drying portion and up to 2 hours after the CLEAN light turns on (depending on cycle). * **Without Heated Dry selected:** The fan runs for up to 4 hours after the CLEAN light turns on (at the end of the final rinse) to dry dishes using air circulation. * **With Rinse Only selected:** Heated Dry is off, and the fan runs for 4 hours. If the fan is running while the CLEAN light is on, you can turn it off by opening the door and pressing any key on the keypad.

The upper rack is primarily for glasses, cups, and saucers, but pots and pans can also be placed here. * Place cups and glasses along the sides, open-end down. * It’s a secure place for dishwasher-safe plastics; secure larger plastics over 2 tines if possible. Ensure small plastic items can’t fall onto the heating element. * Place odd-shaped utensils, saucepans, and mixing bowls face down. * Use fold-down tines (on some models) for flexibility with extra-large or hard-to-fit items. * The utility shelf (on some models) can be placed in the up or down position for flexibility. * Ensure items do not protrude through the bottom of the rack, blocking the middle spray arm rotation. * Ensure items do not block the rotation of the lower wash arm (mounted under the upper rack).

The wine glass holder secures wine glasses for better washability. After loading glasses, slowly push the rack in to ensure they clear the top of the dishwasher tub.

The standard position is “up” for maximum lower rack clearance. Adjust it lower for taller items in the upper rack. * **To Lower:** Support the rack’s weight, press both finger pads (located on the side frame mechanism) about 1/4″ inward, and guide the rack down to the lower position. * **To Raise:** Pull up on the center of the rack side frame until the rack locks into the “up” position.

* Place flatware in the basket. Push the adjustable handle (if present) to either side. * Load forks and knives with handles UP to protect hands. * Load spoons with handles DOWN. * Mix knives, forks, and spoons to prevent nesting. Distribute evenly. * Small plastic items (measuring spoons, small lids) can go in the bottom of the basket with silverware on top, ensuring they don’t block the wash arm. * The one-piece basket can be placed in the front, right side, or back of the lower rack. Don’t let items extend through the bottom.

* The complete basket fits on the right side of the lower rack. * Each end section is removable for flexibility. Grasp the basket at opposite corners and slide apart to remove end sections. * Load flatware similar to Type A (handles up for knives/forks, down for spoons, mix types). * The lids on the end and middle baskets can be opened or closed to contain small items. * Long items can be placed on the utility shelf in the upper rack. * Don’t let items extend through the bottom.

The lower rack is best for plates, saucers, and cookware. * Place large items like broiler pans and baking racks along the left-hand side. * Load platters, pots, and bowls along the sides, in corners, or in the back. * Ensure the soiled side of items faces the center of the rack, or place them soil-side down. * Oversized glasses and mugs can be placed in the lower rack if necessary. * Use fold-down tines (on some models) up or folded down for flexibility with large items. * Be careful that items like pot handles do not extend through the bottom rack, blocking the lower wash arm. * Ensure tall items do not block the middle spray arm (above the lower rack). Spin the arm by hand to check clearance when racks are pushed in.

Remove the upper rack to allow space for very large items in the lower rack. 1. **To Remove:** Push the thumb tab out on the front end caps on each side rail and remove the caps. Pull the rack straight out and off the rails. 2. **Install Nozzle:** Slide the shower nozzle attachment (provided) over the water spout at the back of the tub. The nozzle MUST be in place for proper washing when the upper rack is removed. 3. Load the lower rack and run the cycle. 4. **To Replace:** Remove the shower nozzle attachment. Align the upper rack wheels with the rails and push the rack back in fully. Replace the front end caps. Don’t forget to remove the nozzle before replacing the rack.

The cutlery tray holds up to 4 large knives (e.g., carver, chef’s, bread knives) that are too tall for the silverware basket. 1. Hook the tray onto the rear of the upper rack. 2. Lay the knives flat between the guides.

These special large tines in the lower rack add flexibility for loading serving bowls or other large bowls. 1. Fold down the two rows of regular flex tines located in front of the bowl tines. 2. Load the bowls just as you would in the upper rack, utilizing the larger bowl tines for support.

* **Control Panel:** Use a lightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. * **Painted Panels:** Use a good appliance polish wax. * **Stainless Steel Panels:** Clean with CERAMA BRYTE® Stainless Steel Appliance Cleaner or a similar product using a clean, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Do NOT use wax on stainless steel panels to avoid streaks. Never use sharp objects, scouring pads, or harsh cleaners on any part of the dishwasher.

The stainless steel tub and inner door are highly reliable and normally do not require special cleaning. They will not rust or corrode. Surface blemishes that might occur during normal use will not affect their function or durability. If cleaning is desired for stains or mineral buildup, refer to the troubleshooting section for specific recommendations (e.g., using bleach solution for tea/coffee stains, citric acid for mineral deposits). Always wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool before cleaning the interior.

If your dishwasher is left in an unheated place during the winter, ask a service technician to: 1. Turn off electrical power to the dishwasher (remove fuses or trip circuit breaker). 2. Turn off the water supply. 3. Disconnect the water inlet line from the water valve. 4. Drain water from the inlet line and water valve (use a pan to catch the water). 5. Reconnect the water inlet line to the water valve.

An air gap protects your dishwasher against water backing up into it if a drain clogs. It’s not part of the dishwasher and not covered by warranty. Not all plumbing codes require one. A plugged or dirty air gap will prevent the dishwasher from draining properly. Clean it if the dishwasher isn’t draining well: 1. Turn off the dishwasher. 2. Lift off the chrome cover of the air gap (usually on the sink deck). 3. Unscrew or unsnap the plastic cap (depending on model). 4. Clean the cap and the internal components with a toothpick or small brush to remove any debris. 5. Replace the plastic cap and chrome cover. Check the air gap anytime your dishwasher isn’t draining well.

There was too much time (more than 30 seconds) between touching the pads. To relight the controls, touch any pad again, or unlatch and relatch the door.

Several sounds are normal: * The detergent cup opening. * The motor stopping during the drying period. * Water draining out immediately after pressing START/RESET. * The drying fan running for 2-4 hours after the CLEAN light illuminates (Top Control models). * Motor hums during operation. Abnormal noise could be caused by utensils not being secure in the rack or a small item having dropped into the rack. Ensure everything is securely placed. If the dishwasher hasn’t been used regularly, the seal might be dry; run a RINSE ONLY cycle weekly to help keep the seal moist.

Dishes may be blocking the detergent cups from opening fully. Reposition the dishes to ensure the cups are not obstructed.

A small amount of clean water around the outlet on the tub bottom at the back is normal. This water keeps the water seal lubricated. It should not be dirty water.

The drain may be clogged. * If you have an air gap, clean it (see instructions). * Check if your kitchen sink is draining well. If not, you may need a plumber. * If the dishwasher drains into a garbage disposer, make sure the disposer is clear of food waste. Run the disposer to clear it.

The incorrect type of detergent was used (likely hand dish soap). Use only automatic dishwasher detergents (Cascade®, Cascade Complete®, Electrasol® are approved). To remove suds: 1. Open the dishwasher door and let the suds dissipate naturally. 2. Touch the START/RESET pad. Let it run for 30 seconds. 3. Touch START/RESET again. The dishwasher will pump out for 70 seconds. 4. Repeat if necessary. Also, ensure any spilled rinse agent is wiped up immediately, as excessive rinse agent can sometimes contribute to foaming.

Some tomato-based foods can cause pink or orange staining on dishwasher parts. Running a RINSE ONLY cycle immediately after adding dishes with tomato soil can help decrease the level of staining. GE also recommends Cascade® Plastic Booster™ to help remove these types of stains.

Several factors could be the cause: * **Low inlet water temperature:** Ensure water is at least 120°F (49°C). Run the hot water at a nearby faucet before starting the dishwasher to purge cold water from the line. * **Low water pressure:** If water pressure is temporarily low (e.g., shower running), wait until pressure is normal before using the dishwasher. * **Clogged air gap:** Clean the air gap if you have one. * **Improper rack loading:** Ensure large items don’t block the detergent dispenser or wash arms. Make sure glasses and dishes face the spray arms. Refer to loading sections.

This is often caused by hard water or improper washing conditions: * **Extremely hard water:** Use a rinse agent like Jet Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear®. Ensure the dispenser is filled. Consider a water softener if water is very hard. * **Low inlet water temperature:** Ensure water is at least 120°F (49°C). * **Overloading:** Load the dishwasher according to the guidelines. * **Improper loading:** Ensure items don’t block spray arms or prevent water circulation. * **Old/damp detergent:** Use fresh, dry powder detergent. * **Rinse agent dispenser empty:** Refill the rinse agent dispenser. * **Too little detergent:** Use the correct amount of detergent for your water hardness.

This could be etching, which is permanent cloudiness caused by a combination of soft water and too much detergent. To prevent etching: * Use less detergent if you have soft water. * Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get it clean (e.g., China Crystal). It could also be temporary hard water film. Try using a rinse agent and ensuring proper water temperature. If the cloudiness is removable, it’s likely hard water film; if permanent, it’s etching. Lowering the water heater temperature if it exceeds 150°F (66°C) can also help prevent etching.

Aluminum utensils may have rubbed against the dishes during the wash cycle. Separate aluminum items from dishes when loading. These marks can usually be removed with a mild, abrasive cleaner (use carefully according to dish manufacturer’s instructions).

* **Tea or coffee stains:** These can usually be removed by hand using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups warm water. **CAUTION:** Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool before cleaning the interior to avoid burns. * **Iron deposits in water:** An overall yellow or brown film can be caused by iron in the water. A special filter in the water supply line is the only way to correct this problem. Contact your GE dealer or a water softener company for solutions.

This is likely caused by hard water mineral deposits. * Use a rinse agent like Jet-Dry® or Cascade Crystal Clear® regularly to help prevent buildup. Ensure the dispenser is filled. * To remove existing buildup, run the dishwasher empty with citric acid. Citric acid (Part number: WD35X151) can be ordered through GE Parts. **CAUTION:** Wait at least 20 minutes after a cycle for the heating element to cool before cleaning the interior or adding citric acid. Follow the instructions provided with the citric acid product.

Several factors affect drying: * **Heated Dry not selected:** Select the HEATED DRY option for best results. * **Low inlet water temperature:** Ensure water is at least 120°F (49°C), as hotter water aids drying. * **Rinse agent dispenser empty:** Refill the rinse agent dispenser. Rinse aid significantly improves drying. * **Cycle selection:** Longer cycles with higher temperatures (like Anti-Bacterial) or selecting the ADDED HEAT option can improve drying. * **Plastic items:** Plastics inherently don’t dry as well as other materials. Using the PLASTICS cycle (if available) and rinse aid can help.

Check the following: * **Door not latched:** Make sure the door is fully closed and securely latched. * **Wall switch off:** If the dishwasher is connected to a wall switch (required in some areas), ensure the switch is in the “on” position. * **Fuse blown/Circuit breaker tripped:** Check your home’s fuse box or circuit breaker panel. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Remove any other appliances from the circuit if it’s overloaded. * **Control lock engaged:** Check if the control lock feature is activated (LOCK light on). If so, deactivate it by pressing and holding the HEATED DRY pad for 3 seconds. * **Dishwasher control unresponsive:** Try turning off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker for 30 seconds, then turn it back on to reset the control. If it still doesn’t work, service may be required. * **Delay Start active:** Check if Delay Start is set. The dishwasher will start after the set delay period.

It is normal for warm, moist air (steam) to come through the vent located on the bottom of the door during the drying phase and when water is being pumped out.

The sanitization requirements may not have been met. This can happen if: * The cycle was interrupted during or after the main wash portion. Do not interrupt the cycle during these times. * The incoming water temperature was too low (below 120°F/49°C), and the dishwasher could not heat the water sufficiently in the allotted time. Raise your water heater temperature if necessary.

* The door may have been open for more than 15 minutes, causing the lights to turn off automatically. Latch the door and reopen it to turn them back on. * The bulbs may be burned out. Call for service to replace the bulbs; do not attempt replacement yourself.

The dishwasher has not yet completed the selected cycle. Open the door and check the status indicator lights on the control panel to determine if the cycle is still in progress (e.g., WASHING, DRYING).

The door was opened during the cycle and needs to be closed to resume. Close the door securely to complete the cycle.

* **Cycle Interrupted:** The START/RESET pad was pressed during the cycle, interrupting it. The dishwasher will automatically pump out water for approximately 70 seconds, and the blinking light will turn off. You can then reprogram and restart. * **Power Failure:** If a power failure occurred during the cycle, the dishwasher will pump out for approximately 70 seconds upon power restoration, and the blinking light will turn off. The dishwasher will then automatically restart using the NORMAL WASH and HEATED DRY settings. You may need to select different options if desired.
