||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish we could comment on our purchase, but it was damaged at a warehouse and we will hopefully receive our purchase early part of December. I guess we won't qualify for the $400 gift card. I would not give a Poor rating, but necessary to fulfill the review process.

Posted ."We apologize for the concerns you are experiencing with your dishwasher. Please review the following troubleshooting steps:Troubleshooting Steps
1. Water Supply
The water supply valve must be completely open for proper washing and rinsing.
2. Flood Prevention Device
Anti-flood or flood-prevention devices contain a mechanical valve to stop water flow if a set volume or flow rate is exceeded. Improper installation can prevent water entry. Refer to the device's manufacturer instructions for verification. Some KitchenAid models include a Leak Detection System that alerts the user with a flashing light and initiates a draining cycle if a leak is detected.
3. Rinse Aid Use
The use of liquid rinse aid is essential for optimizing drying and wash performance and controlling the buildup of hard water deposits.

4. High-Temperature Wash Option
Consider using the high-temperature wash option, which raises the main wash temperature to improve cleaning for tough, baked-on food. Heavier soil loads may require a heavier cycle. Confirm that the water pressure is sufficient for proper filling (20 to 120 psi, or 138 to 828 kPa).

5. Proper Dish Loading
Correctly loading dishes is crucial for optimal cleaning and drying.
Avoid Overloading: Ensure adequate space for water and detergent circulation to reach all items.
Load at an Angle: Angle items toward the spray arms to promote water runoff and drying performance.
Plastic Items: Load plastic cups, bowls, and mugs on the third-level rack, if available, for the best dry performance and to minimize deformation. Do not place plastic items on the lower rack.

6. Detergent Type
High-quality, pre-measured tablets and packs are recommended for improved performance and are effective at reducing filming on dishes. They are suitable for all water hardness and soil levels. The use of rinse aid can minimize the repeat buildup of white film. Always place pre-measured detergents in the main compartment and close the lid.
The Pre-Wash indicator on the dispenser is for powder or gel detergent used in the Pre-Wash cycle (approximately eight cubic centimeters if filled). Detergent added here enters the wash immediately, while detergent in the main dispenser is added during the main wash cycle.
Use automatic dishwasher detergent only, and add it just before starting a cycle.
Fresh automatic dishwasher detergent yields better cleaning results.
Store detergent in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place.
Extremely hard water mineral deposits (15 grains per U.S. gallon or more) can damage the dishwasher and hinder cleaning results. A water softener is recommended for hard water to avoid damage and achieve optimal results.

7. Dish Soap Contamination
Dish soap creates suds; dishwasher detergent does not. If suds, bubbles, or soap foam are present, turn off the dishwasher and allow the suds to dissipate. Use only detergent specifically designed for automatic dishwashers, as the wrong type or too much detergent can cause over-sudsing, which may lead to leaking or poor wash performance.

8. Dishwasher Cleaning
Hard water mineral deposits (15 grains or more) can affect cleaning. A water softener is strongly recommended for high hardness. Use affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner or a white vinegar rinse to remove white spots and film. Multiple treatments may be necessary depending on severity.
