Possible Causes

Incorrect rinse aid setting, Empty salt reservoir, Water hardness not set correctly, Overdosing detergent causing etching

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check salt and rinse aid: Ensure the salt reservoir is filled with dishwasher salt and the rinse aid dispenser is not empty.
  • Adjust settings: Set the water hardness and rinse aid dosage according to your local water hardness (refer to user manual).
  • Reduce detergent: If using multi-function tablets, reduce additional detergent and rinse aid to avoid over-dosing.
  • Test with different detergent: Try a different brand formulated for hard water. Persistent etching cannot be reversed, but proper settings will prevent further damage.
