Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse aid, Incorrect water hardness setting, Empty salt reservoir, Using only tablets in very hard water

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for this issue.

  • Check rinse aid level: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and adjust the dosage to a higher setting if spots persist.
  • Fill salt reservoir: Open the salt cap in the bottom of the tub and fill with dishwasher salt. Wipe away any spilled salt and run a short program.
  • Set water hardness: Enter the settings menu and set the water hardness according to your local supply (consult user manual).
  • Use appropriate detergent: In hard water areas, use separate detergent, salt, and rinse aid rather than relying solely on all-in-one tablets.
  • Test with vinegar: To remove existing deposits, run a cycle with glasses and a cup of white vinegar in the top rack.
