  • Question
    What do I do if the sanitize light doesn't come on?
    Community Answer
    Choose Heavy Wash, Normal Wash, Auto Wash, or Half Load cycle. It does not work with the Delicate and Express Wash cycles. This is because the high bacteria-killing temperatures could damage delicates, and it takes a while for the sanitizing to complete.
