Are all items suitable household dishwasher-safe ware? Are all items suitable household dishwasher-safe ware? Unmarked plastics and delicate or mixed-material items need their own care guidance. Follow checklist steps: 1 - Every item is confirmed suitable -> Continue to: Are item interiors open to spray with no nesting?. - An unsuitable or unconfirmed item remains -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. Are item interiors open to spray with no nesting? Are item interiors open to spray with no nesting? Angle water-holding recesses and support lightweight items. Follow checklist steps: 2 - Items are spaced, angled and secure -> Continue to: Are the vent and detergent-tab tray clear?. - Nested or unstable items remain -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. Are the vent and detergent-tab tray clear? Are the vent and detergent-tab tray clear? Tall trays belong away from the vent; the tab tray is not a storage pocket. Follow checklist steps: 3, 4 - Both paths are clear -> Continue to: Does the fully returned upper rack allow both arms to turn freely?. - A tall item or utensil still blocks a path -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. Does the fully returned upper rack allow both arms to turn freely?

Follow checklist steps: 5 - The rack is home and both arms clear the load -> Continue to: How did the arranged load wash and drain from its item recesses?. - An arm binds despite removing item contact -> Pause and request qualified help. The observed condition needs qualified help. Keep the appliance out of use when a safety concern remains. Share the exact model, displayed message and your before/after observations; do not open panels, bypass a lock or access the pump. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain. How did the arranged load wash and drain from its item recesses? How did the arranged load wash and drain from its item recesses? Record the actual result after a complete cycle, not merely the prewash layout. Follow checklist steps: 6 - The adjusted areas are clean with less avoidable pooling -> Observed result recorded. You recorded a clear load layout and its completed-wash result. This is your observation, not independent confirmation of the appliance condition. - Residue or pooling remains in the same areas -> Observation and next step recorded. A result remains despite the loading correction. Use the food-residue or drying task with these observations; the load check does not diagnose an internal part. - I have not checked this, or cannot observe it safely -> Observation still needed. This check is not complete. A condition you have not observed is still unknown. Save the record and return when the preparation and observation can be completed safely; ask support if safe access is uncertain.
