How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Refill salt: Fill the water softener with dishwasher salt and ensure the cap is tight.
  • Set hardness: Adjust the water hardness setting on the dishwasher according to your local water hardness (see user manual).
  • Adjust detergent: Use the recommended amount of detergent; too much can leave residue.
  • Use rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and dosage is adequate.
  • Descale: Run a descaling cycle if heavy limescale is present.
