How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work is required for this issue; ensure the machine is off before cleaning parts.

  • Verify salt usage: Ensure the salt reservoir is filled with dishwasher salt and that the water hardness setting in the control is correctly set for your area.
  • Adjust detergent: Use high‑quality dishwasher detergent and follow the manufacturer's dosing recommendations. Avoid using too much powder or tablets in soft water.
  • Clean spray arms and filters: Ensure strong rinsing action by cleaning all spray arms and filters.
