Possible Causes

Detergent pump over-calibrated on Insinger chemical controller, Incorrect chemical type or concentration, Stuck chemical pump relay, Restricted water flow causing high chemical ratio

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Ensure good ventilation.

  • Review chemical settings: Access the Insinger or third-party chemical controller and verify detergent and rinse aid pump run times are within recommended ranges.
  • Confirm correct products: Ensure that only Insinger-approved or compatible commercial dishwashing chemicals are used at the proper dilution.
  • Inspect chemical pumps: Check that pumps stop when commanded. Replace any pump or relay that continues to run after the dosing period.
  • Flush the system: Run several rinse-only cycles to dilute and remove excess chemicals from the tank and lines.
