To reset your Kenmore dishwasher, press the "Heated Dry" button followed by "Normal Wash" in quick succession twice. Then, close the door, and the reset process should begin.
If your dishwasher is not draining, check for clogs in the filter, garbage disposal, or drain hose. Ensure that the drain hose is not kinked and the air gap is clean.
To clean the interior, run an empty dishwasher cycle with a cup of white vinegar on the top rack. For tougher stains, use a dishwasher cleaner tablet according to the product instructions.
Ensure the dishwasher is plugged in and the door latch is secure. Check if the control lock is on, and try resetting the circuit breaker. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further diagnostics.
Inspect the door gasket for damage, ensure the dishwasher is level, and check that the spray arm is not blocked. Replace any faulty parts as necessary.
It is recommended to clean the filter every month or after 30 wash cycles to ensure optimal performance and prevent odors.
Odors can be caused by food particles trapped in the filter or spray arm. Clean these components regularly and ensure the dishwasher is running hot cycles to remove residues.
For heavily soiled dishes, use the "Heavy" or "Pots & Pans" cycle for a more intensive wash. Ensure the dishwasher detergent is suitable for such loads.
Ensure the "Heated Dry" option is selected and use a rinse aid to enhance drying. Also, allow the dishes to sit for a few minutes after the cycle ends before unloading.
Regularly clean the filter and spray arms, check for leaks, and run a monthly cleaning cycle with vinegar or a dishwasher cleaner. Inspect seals and gaskets for wear and tear.
