Possible Causes
Empty or incorrect salt in softener, Rinse aid set too low or empty, Very hard water not compensated, Faulty water softener valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for basic checks; unplug only if removing panels.
- 1. Check salt level: Open the salt reservoir and refill with dishwasher salt if low. Do not use table salt.
- 2. Adjust water hardness setting: Refer to the Brandt manual to set the softener hardness according to your local water hardness.
- 3. Refill rinse aid: Ensure the rinse aid dispenser is filled and adjust the dosage to a higher setting if spotting persists.
- 4. Run cleaning cycle: Run an empty hot cycle with a dishwasher cleaner to remove internal limescale.
- 5. Softener check (advanced): If problems persist despite correct settings, the water softener or regeneration valve may be faulty and require replacement.
