Possible Causes

Empty or low rinse aid, Eco program with low final rinse temperature, Faulty drying fan, Insufficient heater operation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing internal components if needed.

  • Rinse aid level: Check and refill the rinse aid dispenser. Increase the dosage setting if spotting persists.
  • Program selection: Use a hotter program with active drying rather than an eco cycle for heavily loaded or plastic items.
  • Door opening: At the end of the cycle, open the door slightly to allow steam to escape and speed drying.
  • Check drying system: If your Ilve model has a drying fan, verify it runs at the end of the cycle. If not, test and replace the fan as described in E12.
  • Heater function: Confirm that water is hot during the final rinse; if not, investigate the heater circuit.
