How do I add dishes to my dishwasher after a cycle has started?

You can add an item anytime before the main wash starts by lifting up the door latch to stop the cycle and waiting for the spraying action to stop. Check the detergent dispenser—if the cover is still closed, you can add the item. Then close the door firmly until it latches and press START/RESUME to resume the cycle after a 5-second pause.
