Kenmore 15119 Energy Guide

To reset the Kenmore 15119 Dishwasher, unplug the unit from the power source for about 5 minutes, then plug it back in. This can help reset the control board and resolve minor issues.
Check for any clogs in the drain hose and garbage disposal. Ensure the air gap is clean and inspect the filter for debris. If the problem persists, the drain pump may need inspection or replacement.
To clean the filter, remove the bottom rack, locate the filter at the bottom of the dishwasher, and twist it counterclockwise to remove. Rinse it under running water to remove debris and reinstall it by twisting clockwise.
Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check if the control lock is activated; if so, deactivate it. Verify that the dishwasher is plugged in and the circuit breaker is not tripped.
Use a high-quality dishwasher detergent that is specifically designed for automatic dishwashers. Avoid using regular dish soap as it can cause excessive sudsing.
Inspect the door gasket for damage or debris. Ensure the dishwasher is level and not overfilled. Check the spray arm for cracks and ensure the detergent dispenser is not blocked.
It is recommended to clean the spray arms every 3 to 6 months. Remove them, rinse under warm water, and use a toothpick to clear any clogged spray holes.
Ensure the spray arms are not obstructed and can rotate freely. Use the correct amount of detergent and check for a clogged filter. Also, verify that the water temperature is at least 120°F (49°C).
Yes, using a rinse aid in your Kenmore 15119 Dishwasher can help improve drying performance and reduce water spots on dishes. Fill the rinse aid dispenser according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the filter and spray arms, inspecting the door gasket, checking for leaks, and running a cleaning cycle with a dishwasher cleaner every few months.
