Possible Causes

Empty or incorrect salt setting in softener, Low rinse aid, Hard water buildup in machine, Excessive detergent use

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for this procedure; keep the appliance plugged in only when operating normally.

  • Check salt level: Open the salt reservoir (usually in the tub floor) and refill with dishwasher salt if low. Adjust the water hardness setting in the control menu according to your local water hardness.
  • Refill rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and the dosage setting is appropriate.
  • Adjust detergent amount: Reduce the amount of detergent if you see undissolved powder or excessive foam.
  • Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar placed upright in the top rack to remove internal limescale.
