Difficulty Loading Dishes - Dishwasher
Possible Solution
Are you having difficulty loading dishes?
The adjustable upper rack can be raised or lowered to accommodate taller plates, platters, pots or pans in the upper or lower racks. To raise or lower the upper rack, press both rack adjusters and lift or lower the rack until it is in the desired position and level.
NOTE: Always unload the upper rack before adjusting.
How to Properly Load a Jenn-Air Dishwasher
Loading a dishwasher is the first step to using the appliance properly and getting optimal cleaning results. There are many different rack styles, reference your Quick Start Guide or Owner's Manual for specific suggestions on your rack style.
3rd Rack
We recommend using this rack for silverware, utensils, coffee cups, and smaller bowls.
Top Rack
We recommend using the upper rack for bowls and cups. Cups should be placed face-down. Load items at an angle.
Bottom Rack
We also recommend using the lower rack for plates, pots/pans, and utensils. Ensure all plates are slotted into the rack on their side.
Plastic Items
- Load items at an angle on the top rack. Ensure all items are designated as "Dishwasher Safe)
- Plastics are difficult to dry because they have a porous surface and tend to collect droplets. Plastic items take longer to dry and may not dry completely in a normal dry cycle, so let them air dry.
Silverware
Use silverware basket lids to provide optimal spacing and best cleaning performance. If your silverware does not fit into the designated slots, open the lids or lift on the ends of the lids and pull to remove (depending on silverware basket type). Mix silverware types to keep them separated. Load knives down, forks up, and alternate spoons for best cleaning results.
