How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check rinse aid dispenser: Ensure the rinse aid reservoir is filled and the setting is adjusted to a higher level if water is very hard.
  • Use proper detergent amount: Reduce detergent quantity if you see undissolved powder or excessive suds.
  • Increase water temperature: Set the household water heater to 120°F (49°C) and run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher.
  • Run a cleaning cycle: Use a dishwasher cleaner or a cup of white vinegar on the top rack and run a hot cycle to remove mineral buildup.
