Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse aid, No dishwasher salt in softener, Very hard water not compensated, Using too much or poor-quality detergent

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Check salt: Ensure the salt reservoir is filled with dishwasher salt and the cap is tightly closed.
  • 2. Adjust water hardness: Set the water softener level in the dishwasher settings according to your local water hardness (see user manual).
  • 3. Rinse aid: Fill the rinse aid dispenser and adjust the dosage to a higher setting if spotting persists.
  • 4. Detergent: Use a reputable dishwasher detergent and avoid overdosing. For very hard water, combined tablets may still require additional salt and rinse aid.
  • 5. Clean cycle: Run a hot program with dishwasher cleaner to remove existing deposits from the tub and spray arms.
